Trying to delete my store

Barbara — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 21:55:27 GMT

Many of you know I'm retiring from Zazzle. I've already deleted all content--products, collections, banners, saved designs, and so forth--but when I try to delete the store, it claims I can't because I have content in it. Has anyone else come across this, and if so, how did you solve it?

@Barbara I think you'll have to contact zazzle directly. It's due to old discontinued products that are hidden from us but their ghosts still live in the back end of our stores

Yes, I've had this before. You just have to contact Zazzle and ask them to delete it.

I'm sorry to see you go Barbara .... we may not have spoken much over the years but I've always read your posts with interest and enjoyed having you around. You'll be missed. Enjoy your retirement!

I will miss you, too. 😞

It appears my next job is to directly contact Zazzle, though I can't do it by phone because mine is on the fritz, because my computer has crashed permanently (I'm on my husband's at the moment), and because of the latter, I've lost the email address I've used for Zazzle. My car, not wanting to be left out of the fray, had a heart attack (dead battery), and all in all, I've been feeling mighty sorry for myself...until all of you said nice things to me and made me feel better.

Thank you!

@Barbara sorry to hear you're leaving. I'm going to miss reminiscing about musical terms and your circle of fifths clocks!!

I had plenty of ghost categories, too. I did try to contact Z about force deleting them, but it was still many, many months before they disappeared (6 months, if not a year).

If it took that long for you to get a response way back when, it may never happen for me at all. I suppose it doesn't matter, right? It's like dust bunnies under the bed: We know they're there but don't care.

I will miss you Barbara! Maybe you can record yourself doing art sometimes and pop it on Youtube and we can say Hi over there. 💛

I am sorry to see you leaving as well, Barbara. And you are not alone in having all these electrical devices breaking down. It may be related to the sun going to new frequencies. Computer crashes may also be a warning to go off Zazzle (🤣) (still debating this with myself, my external hard drive with all my data just crashed). The most positive explanation I found so far is that we as humans are raising our vibration. Something better will come your way!

@Malissa No YouTube for me unless I do something about my stupid computer.

@Marblewave Thank you!

@Anne You're talking about the same things my son and I talk about. A lot of Middle Eastern philosophy along with psychics like Darryl Anka. It began for me over 50 years ago when I got to know Jane Roberts personally and hence met Seth. Look up the names if, by chance, you don't know about them.
