While Flipboard magazines are a great way to store articles, you may find yourself no longer needing a few of the folders on your profile.

Whether you collected articles for a research project that's now complete or you find a folder of feature pieces that are now out of date, it's easy to delete a magazine. If the magazine is already open and you are scrolling through articles on your phone or tablet, tap the gear icon to delete. If you're on your main profile page, tap the three dots next to the magazine you wish to remove.

You can also delete Flipboard magazines online if you've accessed your profile from your desktop. This option will appear as a pencil icon to edit the folder, where you'll find a "Delete" option. Flipboard will ask you to confirm the decision regardless of what device you're on.
