Deleting posts

Delete a LinkedIn post by ID:

crispy post delete <post-id>

Get the post ID from crispy post list (your own posts, or pass a profile identifier to see someone else's) or from crispy post feed.

Two things to know before you run it:

  • Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. If you deleted the wrong post, the only path back is reposting the content.
  • It requires an API key with the full_access scope. A read-only or restricted key cannot delete posts, which is exactly why scoped keys are useful for automations that should never be able to destroy content.

Related commands

  • crispy post get <post-id> shows the full post details, so you can confirm you have the right ID before deleting
  • crispy post list --limit 20 lists more of your recent posts
  • crispy post create <text> publishes a new post, with --schedule <iso> to queue it for later

If you want a post gone from a scheduled queue rather than from LinkedIn, that is a different operation: use 'list_scheduled_posts' and 'cancel_scheduled_post' instead of delete.
