How do I delete a scheduler bot
When you create a scheduler bot, it appears in the list of created bots in the @posto_robot bot builder. At the same time, it appears in the list of bots you've created in @BotFather.
So if you no longer need the bot, you can delete it in two ways.
Through the @posto_robot bot builder
To do this:
- Open @posto_robot, then tap
My botsin the bottom menu or send the/mybotscommand. - Choose the bot you no longer need from the list.
- Tap
Delete.
Through the main @BotFather bot
- Open @BotFather and send the
/mybotscommand there. - Choose the bot you no longer need from the list of bots you've created.
- You'll be offered various options: change the bot's settings, regenerate its token, and so on. Choose
Delete Bot.
❗️ Keep in mind that in both cases, deleting the bot is irreversible. The content plan, templates, and default settings will be lost for good, and the buttons in posts published through the bot will stop working after a while.
How do I delete a project
To delete a project:
- Open the
My projectssection in your bot. - Tap
Manage→Delete project. - Choose the project you want to delete from the list.
- Confirm the deletion.
Important: Deleting a project will permanently erase its content plan, templates, and default settings. The buttons in posts published through the bot will stop working after a while.
💡 If you delete all the projects in the bot, a new one is created automatically. The bot can't be left without a project, since that's its workspace.
