Delete a LinkedIn Ad

Last updated: 2 months ago

You can delete ads that were created by mistake or aren't needed in Campaign Manager. Keep in mind, when you delete an ad, the ad creative won't be deleted.

Who can use this feature?

You need creative manager access or higher on an ad account to delete ads.

Important to know

Once an ad has been deleted, the action can't be reversed and the ad will only be deleted in the specific campaign you chose. If you've used the ad in other places (for example, if it's been sponsored or duplicated), it won't be deleted in those places.

To delete an ad:

  1. Sign in to Campaign Manager.

  2. If you need to switch accounts, click the account name in the upper-left corner of the page and select the correct account name from the dropdown.

  3. Select the correct campaign group and campaign.

  4. On the Ads tab, select the box next to the ads you'd like to delete.

  5. Click the Delete icon at the top of the page.

  6. Click the Delete button to confirm.

You can view deleted ads that had performance metrics in Campaign Manager.

To view deleted ads:

  4. Select Deleted.

  5. From here, you can choose to view the deleted ad's performance metrics, or duplicate it if you'd like to use the ad in the future.

You can also view deleted ads using a direct link or by visiting the Ads tab of your LinkedIn Page.
