How to Delete Saved Jobs on LinkedIn

To delete a saved job on LinkedIn, open Jobs > My jobs > Saved, select the job and click or tap the saved bookmark icon again. LinkedIn may label this action Unsave or place it inside the job's three-dot menu.

Removing saved jobs helps keep your job dashboard organised, but it does not delete applications or clear your job search history.

How to remove a saved LinkedIn job on desktop

1. Sign in to LinkedIn.
2. Click Jobs in the main navigation.
3. Open My jobs.
4. Select the Saved tab.
5. Open the job you want to remove.
6. Click the bookmark icon again or open the three-dot menu.
7. Choose Unsave or Remove from saved jobs.

The listing should disappear from your saved list after the page refreshes.

How to delete saved jobs in the LinkedIn app

1. Open LinkedIn on iPhone or Android.
2. Tap Jobs.
3. Open My jobs.
4. Tap Saved.
5. Select the job.
6. Tap the saved bookmark or the job menu.
7. Choose Unsave.

If the job remains visible, close and reopen the app or refresh the My jobs screen.

Can you delete all saved jobs at once?

LinkedIn may not provide a reliable bulk-delete option for every account. In many cases, saved jobs must be removed individually.

A practical cleanup method is to work from oldest to newest and remove:

• Expired listings
• Jobs outside your preferred location
• Roles you already applied for
• Duplicate vacancies
• Positions that no longer match your salary or experience

Saved jobs vs applied jobs

A saved job is only bookmarked for later. An applied job records that you started or completed an application.

Un-saving a job does not:

• Withdraw an application
• Delete an Easy Apply submission
• Remove a resume already sent
• Notify the recruiter that you withdrew
• Clear the job from application history

Saved jobs vs job alerts

A job alert is a recurring search that sends new recommendations. Removing a saved job does not turn off the alert that found it.

To stop alerts:

1. Open Jobs.
2. Go to Job alerts or Preferences.
3. Locate the alert.
4. Switch it off or delete it.
5. Review email and push-notification settings.

Does deleting a saved job notify the employer?

Un-saving a job is generally private. Employers and recruiters do not normally receive a notification that you removed their listing from your saved jobs.

They may still see other actions, such as an application, direct message or profile interaction.

What happens if the saved job has expired?

Expired jobs may remain in My jobs for reference. You can usually remove them in the same way as active listings.

If LinkedIn no longer shows the bookmark control, open the menu beside the listing and look for Remove, Dismiss or Unsave.

How to clear related job-search activity

Saved jobs are only one part of your LinkedIn job data. For a fuller cleanup:

• Clear recent job searches
• Delete unused job alerts
• Remove old resumes
• Review applied jobs
• Archive unnecessary recruiter messages
• Update job preferences

Why a deleted saved job may reappear

A removed job can appear again if:

• You saved it again accidentally
• A duplicate listing was posted
• The app is showing cached data
• You are signed into a different account
• The employer reposted the role under a new listing

Compare the company, location and job ID before assuming the original bookmark returned.

Frequently asked questions

Can recruiters see my saved jobs?

Your private saved-jobs list is not normally shown to recruiters. Recruiters may see information you intentionally share or submit.

Can I recover a deleted saved job?

Search for the listing again and select the bookmark icon. If it has expired or been removed, it may no longer be available.

Does deleting a saved job change recommendations?

It may influence future personalisation, but recommendations can also use your profile, searches, applications and preferences.

Is removing a saved job the same as dismissing it?

Not always. Unsave removes your bookmark; dismissing may tell LinkedIn you do not want that recommendation.

Can I remove saved jobs without deleting my account?

Yes. Saved jobs can be managed individually from My jobs.

Final answer

Go to Jobs > My jobs > Saved, open the listing and select Unsave. Then separately remove job alerts, recent searches and old resumes if you want a complete job-search cleanup.
