Remove accidental recipe post

[CindiJ]

My sister gave me a recipe that she & her family raved about for years. I submitted it meaning to keep it private but habit over-ruled and I clicked published. I now wish to remove this awful recipe. I did edit but once published it won't let me make private. The saves were me trying to take it back. Scrambled Pancakes - 493511 - can anybody help?

It can't be done.

Once a recipe has posted as a public recipe, it can't be removed. That's because people have seen it and will want to access it again.

You can, however, make modifications to it.

But in this case she edited everything out of it until all it says is "Family didn't like". So no one has anything to look at. My suggestion for what it's worth is to report it as a duplicate of http://www.food.com/recipe/scrambled-pancakes-272957
Even if it's not the same recipe originally, it's the same name and the same idea. At least if someone has it in a cookbook, it will link back to something they can actually make

I've duped it out.
