Why Can't I Delete?

[TheOneWho]

I'm trying to delete one of my stories as it has zero chapters, and I decided not to write it. However when I try to do it, it gives me the error:
Error: The title you entered does not match the series title. Please try again to delete this series.
How do I fix this?

was there any spacing or capitalizing you missed? It's case-sensitive if I remember correctly

I just copy-pasted the title, so it should be the same.

try typing it instead. I think copy and pasting is the issue

Right Click and select 'Paste as plain text'.

Oh

Do not self delete! You have so much to live for!

Since there were no chapters, you could've just changed the title, genres, tags, and description to a different story. It would skip waiting for the site to approve your story, I think. Ah well.

Damn can't believe I didn't think of that.

Better not to do that, since you'll lose out on the extra views from being on the front page 'Latest Series' tab. It's best to upload a few chapters while you still have that little extra boost.
