Trash A Post
Trashing a post removes it from your blog and category listings while keeping a copy for a while in case you change your mind.

We are recording a new video for this one.

Not seeing your change?
Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).
If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.
Good to know
Trashing a post removes it from your blog and category listings while keeping a copy for a while in case you change your mind. It suits posts that are out of date or no longer accurate.
If the post gets visitors from search engines or other websites, those links will stop working once it is gone. Updating an old post can be a better choice than removing it. Trashed posts are kept for 30 days by default before WordPress deletes them.
