It looks Parking The Shark is the one you're updating.
If you didn't mean to have two stacks, you might consider deleting the second one to avoid confusion, both for you and readers. If you meant to have two, then disregard.
First, you need first make sure you're managing "Dans Substack."
Use the drop down menu (with your pic on it) in the upper right. About 2/3 the way down the menu, choose "Settings" This brings up your account info and also the publications you have. Scroll down to see the list under "Publications".
You should see two listed. Click on "Dan's Substack" - this brings up the dashboard for Dan's Substack. Make sure it says "Dan's Substack" along the top center.
Now on the menu that runs horizontally across the top, choose "Settings" (these are settings that pertain to the stack itself). Scroll all the way to the bottom into the "Danger Zone". You should see a red button that says "Delete Dans Substack"
If it doesn't say "Dan's Substack", DON"T DO IT. You MUST be on the right dashboard.
Here's an article. It assumes however that (like me) you only have one stack. Since you have two, you must be managing the one you want to delete.
PLEASE. If you have doubt, don't do it. Once gone, gone. If you prefer, you can contact support and they can do it for you (I think). Here's the link to submit a support request.
No problem, Dan. Remember too, you can roll the mouse over the name and it pops up with their profile and the address of their stack. Glad you're getting up to speed!
Thank you Barbara. Sorry about the link. It may be that the ‘https://‘ has to be left off the front. I am trying to figure out how to save my work when I have not finished it and need a wee break. All my writing is done on my iphone. There is a ‘plus’ sign on the bottom right hand of the screen and when I click on it up comes a page which says “Enter a title’
I start writing on that page and everything works just fine until I take a break, come back and continue writing then have to take another break. When I come back, sometimes after quite a few hours the second piece of writing has disappeared. I had assumed that the work would be automatically saved, but sadly no. Any ideas?
Oh my goodness! What a nightmare., Dan. I can't write on my phone - I have an old laptop which I use. When you're in the Dashboard typing your post, it automatically saves it. It's so much easier. Do you have access to a computer?
Hi Dan - You may not realize it, but you have two stacks going.

Hello Victor,
Thanks for spotting that. I do not know how it happened but have been pondering how to delete one of them.
‘Dan’s Substack’ is the one I want to delete. Can you tell me how that is done?
Much obliged if you can help.

Victor if you are interested and have the time have a look at my first ‘proper’ post.
No worries mate.🙂
Yay! You did it! Congrats, Dan! :)

I have just posted my first ‘proper’ Substack.
It is free of course.

The link wouldn't work but I found you and loved what you wrote! :)

Yes. My wife has an android laptop which she does not use.
You will find it SO much easier!
Thanks to your encouragement.
