If you've created a new story part by accident or if you're sure that you no longer want a story part anymore, you have the option to delete it. You can delete both drafts and published parts, as well as an entire story.

Be absolutely sure that you want to delete a story part; there is no way to restore it once it's been deleted.

Instead of deleting a part, you also have the option of unpublishing - the story part is reverted back to a draft, so only you can see it. If you want more information on how to unpublish a chapter or story, read chapter.
