Deleting an experience in Roblox Studio removes it from your account permanently
When you delete an experience in Roblox Studio, the project files are removed from your account and cannot be recovered. The process takes about two minutes and happens through the Roblox website, not through the Studio process itself. You need to own the experience or have permission to delete it, and you should back up any work you want to keep before you start.
Deletion is final. Roblox does not store deleted experiences in a trash folder or recovery system, so once you confirm the deletion, the game and all its associated data are gone. If the experience was published and had players, they will lose access when ready.
Key Takeaways
- Deletion happens on the Roblox website under your creations, not inside Studio itself.
- Once deleted, an experience cannot be restored, so save any scripts or assets you want to reuse elsewhere first.
- You must own the experience or have been granted deletion permissions by the owner to remove it.
- If your experience is published and has players, deleting it will make the game unplayable for anyone who visits it.
How to delete an experience through your Roblox account
Go to www.roblox.com and sign in to your account. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Creations from the dropdown menu. You will see a list of all experiences you have created or have permissions to edit.
Find the experience you want to delete and hover over it. A three-dot menu icon will appear in the top right corner of the experience card. Click it and select Delete. A confirmation window will pop up asking you to confirm the deletion. Click Delete again to complete the removal.
The experience will disappear from your creations list when ready. If the experience was published and had a URL, that URL will no longer work. Any players who had bookmarked it or visited it before will see an error page.
What happens to your game after deletion
Once deleted, the experience is gone from the Roblox platform entirely. Players cannot access it, and you cannot restore it from within Studio or your account settings. The game's page, statistics, and any in-game purchases or currency associated with it are also removed.
If your experience earned Robux through sales or passes, those earnings remain in your account. Deletion only removes the game itself, not the money it generated. However, any active game passes or developer products tied to that experience will no longer be purchasable.
Backing up your work before deletion
Before you delete an experience, open it in Studio one last time and save any scripts, models, or assets you might want to use in future projects. You can copy individual scripts by right-clicking them in the Explorer panel and selecting Copy, then pasting them into a new experience or a text editor.
For larger assets like custom models or terrain, you can export them as files. Right-click the object in the Explorer, select Export Selection, and save it as an .rbxm file to your computer. You can import these files into other experiences later by dragging them into Studio or using the Insert menu.
Removing an experience you do not own
If you were added as a collaborator or editor on someone else's experience, you cannot delete it yourself. Only the owner or someone with explicit deletion permissions can remove the game. If you want the experience deleted, contact the owner and ask them to do it.
If you are the owner and want to give someone else permission to delete your experience, go to the experience's settings in Studio, click the Permissions tab, and adjust their role. Only owners can grant deletion rights, and you should be careful about who you give this permission to.
If you cannot find your experience in creations
Experiences sometimes do not appear in your creations list if they were created in an older version of Studio or if there was a sync error with your account. Try signing out of Roblox completely and signing back in. Refresh the creations page in your browser to force it to reload.
If the experience still does not show up, it may have been deleted already or moved to a group account. Check whether you created it under a group rather than your personal account. Group experiences appear in a separate section on the creations page, and only group owners or members with the right permissions can delete them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo a deletion after I confirm it?
No. Once you click delete and confirm, the experience is permanently removed and cannot be restored. Roblox does not have an undo feature for deleted experiences, so make sure you want to delete it before confirming.
Will deleting an experience remove my Robux earnings from it?
No. Any Robux you earned from that experience stays in your account. Deletion only removes the game itself, not the money it generated.
What happens if I delete an experience that players are currently in?
Players who are in the game when you delete it will be kicked out and sent back to the home page. The game will no longer be accessible to anyone, and the URL will show an error.
Can I delete an experience from inside Studio?
No. You must delete experiences through the Roblox website under your creations. Studio does not have a delete function for published experiences.
How do I delete an experience from a group I own?
Go to the group's page on Roblox, click Games, find the experience, and click the three-dot menu. Select Delete. You must be the group owner or have the permission to manage group games to do this.
