This article will show you how to archive unwanted or no longer needed affiliates. We do not offer full deletion for purposes of data integrity, but for all intents and purposes archiving is effectively the same as deletion. It differs only in the fact that the data still exists and is accessible should you choose to recover it. You can think of archiving as similar to archiving an email on your typical email platform, such as Google Mail.
