How can I delete a giveaway in KingSumo?
Open your list of giveaways, click the dropdown next to the giveaway and choose Delete. You can delete a giveaway at any time on every plan.
How do I delete a giveaway?
- Open your list of giveaways from Dashboard.
- Next to the giveaway, open the dropdown (next to Promote).
- Click Delete.
- Confirm with OK when asked "Are you sure you want to delete this giveaway?"
You'll see Giveaway deleted! The giveaway disappears from your list, and its page shows visitors a "not found" page (see Why am I getting a 404 error on a giveaway?).
Before you delete
- Download your entrants first: once the giveaway is deleted, you can't export them. See How can I obtain the emails of my giveaway's entrants?
- If you only want to stop new entries, change the end date in the giveaway editor instead of deleting it.
