Author Topic: How to Delete uploaded files on Adobestock (Read 5616 times)

I made a mistake and uploaded some editorial files to Adobestock. Realizing this, I wanted to delete the files but could not see how so I went in via Fotolia and was able to delete them via the Fotolia interface. So my question is:

How does one delete files they uploaded from Adobestock via the Adobestock interface?

Select the image you want to delete. Look to the right of the page under the keyword boxes. You should see a series of links, one of which says "delete file."

Deleting images will have a detrimental effect on your Acceptance rate, just something to think about before you press delete.

Or it gets rejected for being non compliant - you’re neither here nor there for acceptance rate

How much do you think acceptance makes a difference on anything? Just wonder if it effects rank, like page placement in search? I don't track AS like I did with SS or AL, so just wondering?

I just uploaded a dupe by accident, actually two. I could finish and delete, and as you say, drop my acceptance rate. Wondering if like others, if I just leave them there, will they drop off on their own after time? Not submitted = no harm?

Logic would tell me that if they have not yet been submitted they can't be accepted or rejected and therefore would have no effect on the Acceptance rate.
Deletion after acceptance is bad for their business and therefore they make it bad for your business.

Thanks, I assumed the same about no effect. Hopefully like SS, they will age off in 90 days and just go away peacefully?

I don't know about placement though, based on rank, I wonder if someone who watches, has any ideas. As far as I can see, where I have a number of diverse images, same subject, the one with the most sales is first in the Adobe search, right in order, down to the one with no sales. That's not just mine, I mean all files with the same search test keyword. That's pretty obvious, page order for a keyword search (not logged in, no account) = sales.

But I still wonder, if page display is in any way affected by acceptance ratio or for that matter, our ranks as an artist? I don't know how anyone would measure that, because sales seem to be the key to display order in a search? Or in another way, maybe my rank or my acceptance ratio changes nothing in the search display? How would we know?
