How to delete a recipe

Last updated: 2026-02-06

If you no longer need a recipe in your collection, you can delete it from Honeydew. Keep in mind that deletion is permanent, so make sure you truly want to remove the recipe before confirming.

How to delete a recipe

1
Open the recipe

Navigate to the recipe you want to delete and tap to open it.

2
Tap the menu icon

Look for the three-dot menu icon (sometimes called the "more" button) in the top-right corner of the recipe screen and tap it.

3
Select Delete

From the menu that appears, tap "Delete" or "Delete Recipe."

4
Confirm deletion

A confirmation dialog will appear asking if you're sure. Tap "Delete" to permanently remove the recipe.

Deleting a recipe is permanent and cannot be undone. The recipe will be removed from all cookbooks and your meal plan. If you're unsure, consider removing the recipe from a cookbook instead of deleting it entirely.

Alternatives to deleting

If you just want to tidy up a cookbook without losing a recipe forever, you can remove the recipe from a specific cookbook instead. The recipe will still exist in your main collection and can be added back to any cookbook later.
