I have about 25 short links which I don't use anymore and have reached their end of life.
All but three were deleted successfully.
However...

The three links in question do not have a delete button at all.
I only have the option to transfer ownership.
Does anyone know how I can delete them?

Hi,

There is an administrative setting that specifies how often a short
link has to be used before it becomes read only. The rationale behind
that feature is to prevent users from accidentally deleting popular
links. Are you an administrator for your Google apps domain? If so,
you can simply increase the limit.

Best regards,

Jens

Thank you!! I am indeed the administrator and have increased the limit.
Once the limit was increased I deleted the links.
Much appreciated.

Hi Jens

I'm reviving an old thread!

Can you tell me where this short link administrative setting is hiding please?

I've tried going to http://google.com/a/your_domain.com/LabServiceSettings?appId=shortlinks but it doesn't show that setting.

Thanks.

Hi djs,

The setting should appear on the "Extra settings" tab of the page you mentioned, and is called "Deletion limit". Unfortunately there currently seems to be a bug affecting a lot of domains which might prevent you from getting to this page, even as a domain admin. If that is affecting you, we hope to have a fix out soon.

Hope this helps,
Danut

Any news on this fix Danut? I'm one of those affected who can't see the extra settings and so can't raise the deletion limit and remove redundant links.

Hi!

Not yet. We're making progress and I'm working with the Google Apps team to get this fixed, but it's harder than expected.

Hi,

Is there any progress towards this? I can work around the short link app not showing up to stilla access the regular admin page (just readd the app, it'll take you to the short link control panel), but I have no way to access the "extra" tab.
https://admin.google.com/AdminHome?appId=shortlinks&chromeless=1#OGX:LabServiceSettings is the "regular" admin page, is there someone who'd have the link to the extra admin page ?
