Use this interactive demo to learn how to delete or hide a recommendation on your LinkedIn profile.

Quick summary

To remove a LinkedIn recommendation, navigate to the Recommendations section of your profile and use the Manage recommendations panel to delete or hide any given or received recommendation. Changes take effect immediately after clicking Save.


Steps

  1. Click your profile picture or name to go to your LinkedIn profile.
  2. Click 'View Profile' from the dropdown menu.
  3. Scroll down to the 'Recommendations' section and click the pencil icon to open editing options.
  4. Select 'Given' under the 'Manage recommendations' panel to view recommendations you have written.
  5. Select the 'Delete' option to permanently remove the recommendation from your profile.
  6. Toggle off the button to hide a received recommendation — it will no longer be visible on your profile.
  7. Click 'Save' to apply all changes.

📌 Why this matters

Managing your LinkedIn recommendations gives you full control over how your professional profile is perceived by recruiters, hiring managers, and peers. Whether you want to remove an outdated recommendation or hide one that no longer reflects your current expertise, LinkedIn's built-in tools let you curate your profile without notifying the original author. Knowing how to delete or hide LinkedIn recommendations helps professionals maintain a polished, relevant personal brand. This step-by-step process takes less than two minutes and requires no special account permissions.
