How to Delete a Depop Listing (App and Web, 2026)

Delete or deactivate a Depop listing in seconds. Step-by-step for the app and web, bulk removal, and what happens to likes, offers, and sold items.

Written by Chris Taylor, founder of FlowLister and active eBay reseller. This page is written as seller research, not a thin feature pitch.

Quick take

Delete is permanent

Removing a listing erases its photos, description, likes, and offers for good. There is no undo.

Deactivate is reversible

Depop does not have a true hide toggle, so sellers Mark as sold or delete. To pause without losing data, save the draft details first.

App and web both work

You can delete from the iOS or Android app via the three-dot menu, or from Depop web under your shop items.

No native bulk delete

Depop has no select-all delete. You remove listings one at a time, so plan a cleanup session for large shops.

Decide first

Delete vs. mark as sold vs. relist

Before you tap anything, decide what you actually want. Depop gives you three meaningful actions and they are not interchangeable.

Delete removes the listing completely. The photos, description, price, likes, and any offers disappear and cannot be recovered. Use it only when you are certain the item is gone for good.

Mark as sold keeps the listing in your shop as a sold item. It stops showing in active search and signals to buyers that the piece is gone, but you keep the record and reviews tied to the sale.

Relist (delete then re-create, or use Depop relist where available) pushes a stale item back to the top of feeds. If your goal is more visibility, relisting beats deleting and re-adding from scratch.

iOS and Android

How to delete a listing in the Depop app

The app is the fastest route for most sellers. The steps are the same on iPhone and Android.

  1. Open your profile: Tap your profile icon in the bottom-right of the Depop app to see your shop and listings.
  2. Select the item: Tap the listing you want to remove so the full item page opens.
  3. Open the menu: Tap the three-dot (more) icon, usually in the top-right of the listing screen.
  4. Choose Delete: Select Delete listing from the menu. Pick Mark as sold instead if the item actually sold off-app.
  5. Confirm: Confirm when prompted. The listing and its likes and offers are removed right away.

Desktop browser

How to delete a listing on Depop web

Depop web is handy when you are managing a larger shop from a laptop. The wording shifts slightly but the flow mirrors the app.

  1. Sign in at depop.com: Log in and click your profile or shop name to open your listings.
  2. Open the listing: Click the item you want to remove to open its detail page.
  3. Find Manage or the menu: Use the edit or more-options control on the listing page to reveal management actions.
  4. Select Delete: Choose Delete to remove the item, or Mark as sold to retire it without erasing it.
  5. Confirm the removal: Confirm the action. The change syncs to the app and to your public shop.

Big cleanups

Removing many listings at once

Depop does not offer a native select-all or bulk-delete tool, so large cleanups are manual. There are still ways to make it less painful.

Work in short focused sessions rather than trying to clear hundreds of items in one sitting. Deleting is irreversible, so a slower pace reduces mistakes.

If the goal is to refresh stale stock rather than truly remove it, relisting a handful of your best items each day usually does more for sales than mass deletion.

Third-party crosslisting and shop-management apps can speed up bulk delisting and keep multiple marketplaces in sync, but always confirm any tool follows Depop current API and automation rules before granting access.

The fine print

What happens to likes, offers, and sold items

Deleting a listing removes everything attached to it. The likes that built up over time, any active offers, and the listing photos all go away and will not transfer to a new listing if you re-create the item.

Because likes are a real form of free reach on Depop, think twice before deleting a well-liked item. If it is just priced wrong, edit the price instead so you keep the social proof.

Marking an item as sold preserves the sale record and any associated review, which matters for your seller reputation. Deleting a genuinely sold item can remove useful history.

Removing a listing does not undo a completed transaction or refund a buyer. Order, payment, and shipping records live separately from the active listing, so handle returns or refunds through the order, not by deleting the listing.

If you also sell on eBay

Reselling the same items on eBay

Many Depop sellers list the same inventory on eBay to reach a different, often higher-value, buyer pool. The slow part is rebuilding each listing from scratch.

FlowLister is AI eBay listing software that turns a few photos into a ready-to-review eBay draft. It writes the title, item specifics, and description, and prices the item against real eBay sold comps so you are not guessing.

It also supports crosslisting, so the items you pull from Depop can go live on eBay in minutes instead of being retyped. You review and approve every draft before it publishes, keeping you in full control.

If you are clearing a Depop shop and want those pieces working on eBay too, it removes the busywork of re-listing them by hand.

how to delete depop listing FAQ

Short answers to common seller questions about this workflow.

No. Deleting a Depop listing is permanent and removes the photos, description, likes, and offers with no undo. If you might want the item back later, mark it as sold or save the details before deleting.
Deleting removes the listing and all its data entirely. Marking as sold keeps the item in your shop as a sold record, hides it from active search, and preserves likes and any reviews tied to the sale.
Depop does not offer a native bulk or select-all delete. You remove listings one at a time in the app or on web. Some third-party shop-management tools can speed up delisting if they follow Depop rules.
They are lost. Likes and active offers are tied to the specific listing, so deleting it erases them. They do not transfer if you re-create the same item, which is why editing the price is often better than deleting.
Depop does not have a true hide or deactivate toggle. To take an item out of circulation without erasing it, mark it as sold, or save the listing details so you can re-create it later.
No. Deleting only affects the active listing. Completed orders, payments, and refunds are handled separately through the order itself, so manage any return or refund there rather than by deleting the listing.
