General Feedback & Requests

I want to remove some items from My Library. Fab should have a way to do this.

2

An ability to make a list of favorite items would also be great.

Thanks for that feedback, @TiltedSquare and @DerNischel .

We’re exploring options to better manage My Library (e.g., hiding products, sorting and filtering, and so on).

We’re also prioritizing a wishlist/favorite feature.

I would like to +1 this. I mistakenly added a couple of free, but AI generated assets to my library. I need to remove them because I can’t use those and I want to remove the risk mistakenly add them to any projects.

So, at the moment we cannot remove added assets to our library, correct? No way to remove them if i accidently added one that’s not compatible with the version I’m using for example, so I will never! use it, but it’s still in my library and I don’t want it there.

Having this feature is so incredibly obvious that I can’t fathom why it’s not in there already. It’s the very next thing that would pop into mind for every human being on the planet after putting in an “add to library” button. But instead the Executive VP of FAB was like “I’ve put in the add to library button, what next? Oh yes, a remove from library button. Wait, no I wont, game devs are used to going and screwing themselves on other things, another one won’t hurt. I’m off for golf”

I would prefer a “Hide from library” button.

Imagine paying 500$ for a great looking environment pack, then accidentally pressing “Delete from library”… I believe hide is better than delete, same outcome, but safer approach.

+1 for an option to hide unused stuff from library.

I think we need both hide and delete as options, it’s 2025 right now, no excuse to now have this implemented soon

I agree, this is a much wanted feature. Old assets no longer in use clutters a project and makes it difficult to organize your external content.

+1 for this option.

yeahhhhh lets not start deleting stuff

but hide would be nice

Still no progress on this?

The request goes back a long way from what i’m seeing
I need to clear a lot of assets that are no longer supported or are A.I. generated etc before I start a new project.

I would like both…
“Hide from library”
and
“Delete from Account”

I currently got over thousands of items in the Libary, but only 60% are really useable, cause the rest is deprecated since early UE4 or AI ■■■■ that got found out much too late… cause the asset was not tagged right or has any hint of being AI made in the text…
So i want to delete Assets i never will use again cause of these reasons…
Deleting can be set behind a Captcha - to ensure the deleting process is really wanted.

And a way to Hide stuff that may get used/updated again.

Hi folks. This is on the roadmap (under column 5 - Download & UE Plugin). We’re working through the many items there and hope to tackle that one soon.

A bit surprised here that such a vitally basic function of removing an item from your library isn’t available, yet glad that it’s in the plans already. Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hi @skfabby,

Is there a rough estimate on when the team plans to tackle this request? Given the simplistic nature of the change, I’ll be happy to submit a patch, given the launcher’s repo accepts changes from the community.

Thanks!

Hi @kostikla . I don’t have an ETA for this yet. I recommend keeping an eye on the roadmap, as we’re keeping that updated as things progress. This feature can be found under column 5, “Download and UE Plugin”. It doesn’t give ETAs but it does indicate what’s currently being worked on.

We’re also planning another dev update soon.

Please add an option to remove items not just hide them! Some of the random free stuff I accidentally added to my library are so bad that I feel like my library became dirty and got infected by these mess. And hiding it feels like well… hiding dirt under the rug. I want to disown them!

Adding stuff shouldn’t be a permanent universal constant like laws of physics. This is not physical world, add to library button is like a landmine ready to explode with no turning back with one wrong step. Now I’m stuck with these garbage in my library forever. It’s like there’s garbage in my kitchen and I can’t take it out and I’m forced to live with it but if I want I can “hide” it! It still smells even if you hide it.

Thanks, I’ve shared that feedback with the team.

Update @Cyber_Crow - you can contact support with the list of products you want deleted from your library and they can take care of it for you.

Thank you! That sounds great! One compromise could be just limiting removal ability to assets obtained for free, that would remove the possibility of removing something you paid for.

Also most accidental inclusions of items to My Library would be from free stuff anyway.

I am not sure why anyone would want this. There is virtually no benefit whatsoever to removing items from your library other than added liability of possibly losing owned assets forever (some people will surely click this by mistake, and then file complains to FAB support).

Hiding them serves the purpose of cleaning up your library without this risk. That “You know they’re still there” and it’s bothering you sounds like a Psychological phenomenon on your end and not a problem with how the store is programmed.

Now I’m stuck with these garbage in my library forever.

Other than satisfying some weird neuroses about cleanliness (???), is there a real reason why Epic should add a feature that poses a potential risk to customers when hiding them otherwise serves the exact same purpose without said risk?
