How do I delete a custom widget?

I noticed that widgets in draft mode have a little X next to them in the Widget Dashboard, allowing them to be deleted.

But I have a few unpublished widget I was experimenting with, that aren't on any websites, that I can't seem to remove. Is there a way to turn unpublished widgets back into "draft" mode so they can be deleted?


Thanks!

    Widgets that have been published can't be deleted. The reason for this is that the widget might exist on a live website. So, we don't want that website to break or have a missing element/component.

    Thanks for the info mate!

    Bit of a shame, because I could see the potential of test widgets cluttering up the interface at some point, since we already have about 4 in there. Guess I can just use this this one for future testing, or turn them into published widgets in future.

    I too think we should be able to delete these as well.. Maybe a Pop Up like we have when we delete a site but instead it would say "Make sure to remove this widget from all sites before deleting; Duda will not be responsible for ensuring functionality of Deleted Widgets" or something that yalls legals make sound good.. lol.

    Yeah, seems odd that we can't delete them, especially when it tells us how many websites they're used on. Even if you couldn't delete them unless they were on 0 websites, as a safeguard.
