I did a fiddle (public I think) and then logged in and forked the first one to get it into my fiddles. Now I want to delete the first fiddle.
Is it possible to delete a fiddle?
If yes, how do you do that?
I can understand if this is not possible by design as the first one is public and people could destroy valuable information this way, if that would be possible.
No. Looks like there's no way to delete an anonymously-created fiddle.
However, as far as I know there is no public index of anonymous fiddles, so if you never give the URL to anyone, there is very little chance anyone will ever see it again.
Still, don't ever go pasting sensitive data in JSFiddle… but of course you know that already.
You can (now?)... maybe...
If you log in (create an account first if you don't have one) and visit the fiddle, on the left hand side an option will appear called Removal request, and below that you'll see a text link called Submit a removal request - clicking it will redirect to another page where you can indicate the reason for your deletion request.
The confirmation page said it can take some time but normally it's 24 hours.
Update Oct 5, 2023: over a week went by and the fiddle is still there...
Update Oct 17, 2023: almost another 2 weeks went by and the fiddle is still there...
Last update Jan 12, 2024 (promise I stop here): over 3 months, and the fiddle is still there, so I guess this process isn't really working...
