Transcription

Hi. I’m Gary Eckstein from organicweb.com.au and I’m a Mailchimp Pro Partner specializing in Mailchimp training and consulting. Today’s tutorial is a short but hopefully very beneficial one. I’m going to show how we can delete an email campaign from Mailchimp either a draft or a sent email campaign.

In Mailchimp you want to get to your list of sent campaigns, email campaigns. So what you do is you click ‘campaigns’ to the left hand side of the screen and you’ll then notice all your campaigns. If you want to you could click ’emails’ to just see your email campaigns. So I’ve just clicked ’email’. So here my email campaigns are so as you notice when I hover over a campaign name I can click, for example, the check box to the left hand side and then I click ‘delete’. Mailchimp says are you sure and I um I type, and, ‘delete’ again and click ‘delete’ and there we go. It’s been deleted. So that’s how simple it is. So for any campaign you view your campaigns, all campaigns, just hover over the campaign you want to delete, click the check box next to it and then quite simply click ‘delete’ type ‘delete’ and the campaign will be deleted. Thanks for joining me. If you found this useful please subscribe to my channel. My name is Gary from organicweb.com.au.

    There aren’t any check boxes next to the campaigns – any idea why this might be??

      Some people have mentioned that changing the size of your browser window makes the checkboxes appear.

      Try viewing on a large screen as sometimes the checkboxes don’t show on smaller screens.

    Is there a way to see what has been deleted? If something was deleted by accident, can it be found and reactivated to send out?

      Hi Lynn, unfortunately there is no means of recovering a deleted campaign.

    I’m having the same issue with checkboxes not showing up beside campaigns. Has anyone figured out a solution other then zooming in or viewing on a bigger screen? That doesn’t seem to help. Thank you 🙂

    I had the same problem but zoomed out until the webpage was quite small, then the check boxes appeared when hovering over (but only on the ‘all campaigns’ page) definitely not ideal but it did work in the end.
