You delete a Roblox game by opening Roblox Studio, finding the game in your creations list, and choosing the delete option from the game's menu

Roblox Studio keeps every game you've ever created in your account, even if you haven't touched it in years. If you want to remove one permanently, the process takes about two minutes. You'll need to be logged into the account that created the game, and you'll lose all the game's data, player statistics, and any code you wrote for it — so make sure you don't need it before you delete.

The delete button is not buried in settings. It sits right in your creations list, next to each game you own. Once you confirm the deletion, Roblox removes the game from your profile, takes it off the platform, and stops hosting it. Players who bookmarked it will see a "game not found" message if they try to visit.

Key Takeaways

  • Open Roblox Studio on your computer and sign in with the account that created the game you want to delete.
  • Look for the game in your "My Creations" list and click the three-dot menu button next to its name.
  • Select "Delete" from the dropdown menu and confirm when Roblox asks you to verify the deletion.
  • Deleted games cannot be recovered, so read or save any code or assets you want to keep before you delete.
  • The game disappears from your profile when ready, and any public link to it stops working right away.

Opening Roblox Studio and finding your game

Start by going to the Roblox website and logging in with the account that created the game. Click your username in the top right corner and select "Create" from the dropdown menu. This takes you to Roblox Studio's home page, where you'll see a list of all your creations.

Look for the game you want to delete in the "My Creations" section. Each game shows a thumbnail image, the game's name, and when you last edited it. If you have many games, you can scroll down to find the one you're looking for, or use the search box at the top to type its name.

Accessing the delete menu

Hover your mouse over the game's thumbnail or name until a three-dot menu icon appears in the corner. Click that icon to open a dropdown menu with several options. The menu includes choices like "Edit", "Configure", and "Delete" — you want the last one.

If you don't see the three-dot menu, make sure you're looking at a game you created, not one you're just a collaborator on. Only the original creator can delete a game. If someone else created it and added you as a builder, you'll see different options instead.

Confirming the deletion

Click "Delete" from the dropdown menu. Roblox will ask you to confirm that you really want to delete the game — this is your final note to change your mind. The confirmation message will show the game's name and remind you that the deletion is permanent.

Click the confirmation button to complete the deletion. Roblox removes the game from your account when ready. The game no longer appears in your creations list, and any public link to it returns a "game not found" error.

What happens to your game after deletion

Once deleted, the game is gone from Roblox's servers. Players who bookmarked it, added it to favorites, or have a direct link will see an error page if they try to visit. Any statistics, player data, or leaderboard information the game collected is also deleted.

The game's name becomes available again, so you or someone else could create a new game with the same title. However, you cannot recover the deleted game or restore it from a backup — Roblox does not keep copies of deleted games.

Saving your game's code and assets before deletion

If you want to keep the scripts, models, or other assets from your game, read them before you delete. Open the game in Roblox Studio by clicking "Edit" instead of "Delete". In the Explorer panel on the left side, you can right-click individual objects or scripts and select "Save to File" to read them to your computer.

For larger projects, you can also export the entire game as a file. In Roblox Studio, go to "File" at the top left, then "Save As", and choose a location on your computer. This creates a backup copy of the whole game that you can open later, even after you delete the published version from Roblox.

Deleting a game you no longer have access to

If you created a game years ago and no longer remember the password to that account, you cannot delete it from Roblox Studio. You would need to recover access to the original account first by resetting the password through the Roblox login page.

If you've lost access to the email address tied to the account, contact Roblox Support through their help center. Explain that you created the game and want to delete it. Support can verify your identity and delete the game for you, though the process may take several days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete a game if I'm not the original creator?

No. Only the account that created the game can delete it. If you're a collaborator or builder on someone else's game, you won't see a delete option. Ask the original creator to delete it, or ask them to remove you as a collaborator if you no longer want to work on it.

What if I delete a game by accident?

Roblox does not restore deleted games. Once you confirm the deletion, the game is permanently removed. If you saved a backup copy of the game file to your computer using "Save As" in Roblox Studio, you can open that file and re-publish it as a new game.

Does deleting a game remove it from players' favorites?

Yes. When you delete a game, it disappears from the platform entirely. Players who favorited it will see it removed from their favorites list, and any links to the game will stop working. The game no longer shows up in search results or recommendations.

Can I delete a game that has active players?

Yes, you can delete a game at any time, regardless of whether players are currently in it. Players who are in the game when you delete it will be kicked out, and new players won't be able to join. The game's page will show a "not found" error.

How do I delete a game on mobile?

You cannot delete a Roblox game from a phone or tablet. Roblox Studio only works on Windows and Mac computers. You must use a computer to access your creations list and delete a game. Mobile devices can only play games, not create or manage them.
