Accidentally saved a random bot game to my archive and I don't know how to remove it

So I was playing a random bot while talking to some of my friends and I did horrendously. I saw the little 'save to archive' button and clicked it accidentally, and now there's no way for me to delete it.

I don't really want some random game against a bot on the front page of my account, do could someone please help?

What are you worried about?  No one will ever see it unless you accidentally call attention to it or something.

They only recently added the ability to save those games.

People have never had the ability to delete games from their archive.

Its not really about people seeing it I just wanted to know if it was possible to delete it, because I don't play alot of rated games and don't really like seeing a loss to an 1100 bot  ;-;

No, it's not possible to delete saved games. It has been requested for bot games that get saved, but I don't know if it is planned to be implemented or not.

This has been added now.

Thanks, good to hear deletion has been added for bots. Heads up that I followed the instructions and didn't see a delete button, until I went back and realized it's because when I selected the game, I clicked on the numbers (which directed me to the ...com/analysis/game instead of the ...com/game).

Once clicking on the game (which lead to ...com/game instead), I found the trash icon.

Big kudos for chess.com for adding 'delete bot games from archive' feature.

Followed the instructions but didn´t find the icon. Please tell me where it is?

It's currently bugged and doesn't exist. It should be in the actual game on the bottom toolbar.

I deleted a game using the website but it's still appearing on the app. (I don't know how to delete on app.)

I keep refreshing but it's still there.

Please help.

Give it some time and it should be removed from there as well, if it hasn't been already. If not it might be cached locally.

You can delete a bot game from chess.com regular site by opening the game then hit the delete trashcan symbol at bottom this removes it entirely from chess.com and chess.com app archive but not from the main page on chess.com app to do that you must unload and then reload the chess com app after you deleted it on chess.com regular site first this entirely removes it from both sites

Also turn off mobile data and Wi-Fi for at least 30 seconds before reloading chess.com app
