Deleting a book, periodical, or app will permanently remove it from your bn.com account and cannot be undone. Deleted titles cannot be restored and if you would like to read them again, you would need to re-purchase the title again to access the content that has been deleted.
Instead of deleting, consider using the "Archive" option. Archiving keeps a copy of your content in your account, while removing all but the most basic information about the book (such as its cover, title, author, and description) from your NOOK. You can unarchive or re-download a book at any time, so your reading material is never lost.
Items that have been archived are only accessible from the Archive category of the dropdown options in the top left area of Library. Archiving is a safe and effective way to reduce used storage and manage the visual content that is displayed in Library. Archived items can be returned to your Library at any time by unarchiving them.
B&N Audiobooks cannot be deleted using the process described below. If you wish to delete an audiobook from your library, click here to contact Customer Service.
