Once a link is shortened in Bitly, it cannot be deleted or archived. But it can be hidden or redirected.
A hidden link will still function when anyone clicks it, but it won't appear in on your Bitly pages and analytics.
Let's take a look at how to:
To hide a link:
- Go to your All Links page.
- Select the link from the list. You can also use the search at the top of the page to find a specific link.
- Click the Edit button.
- Click Hide Link.
- Click Confirm.
To view your hidden links:
- Go to your All Links page.
- Click the filter icon.
- Check the Only Hidden Links box.
- Click Apply.
To unhide a link:
- View your hidden links using the steps above.
- Select a link from the list and follow the steps to hide a link at the top of the page.
- Click Unhide Link.
- Click Confirm.
