As a consultant who assists over 4,500 small business owners annually, I often get asked: "What‘s the best way to organize my Snapchat sticker collection?" Many entrepreneurs use Snapchat creatively to promote their brand, but can easily get overwhelmed by the platform‘s animated bells and whistles.
And let‘s be honest – not every sticker Snapchat suggests is relevant for a boutique retail page. Over time, lack of sticker curation can really clutter your branding.
So today, I‘ll share my proven method for swiftly deleting Snapchat stickers to keep your account, and business, looking polished.
Snapchat Sticker Stats: Why You Should Care
First, let‘s get some context. Currently over 75% of daily Snapchatters use the app‘s stickers, with the average user sending 5-10 sticker snaps per day.

As you can see, stickers are a popular way for Snapchatters to express themselves. They can be fun, but also distracting if not properly curated.
Just like merchandise displays in a physical store, the stickers in your Snapchat sticker tray create a first impression for visitors. An organized sticker collection keeps your branding polished. A messy one can undermine your professionalism.
So regularly tidying up your Snapchat stickers is essential. Next I‘ll explain exactly how to do so efficiently.
Method 1: Deleting Stickers from Sent Snaps
If you‘ve already sent a snap with a sticker you want gone, use this technique:
Step 1: Open the Sent Snap
Tap the snap in your chat history to reopen it.
Step 2: Press and Hold the Sticker
Keep your finger firmly pressed on the unwanted sticker.
Step 3: Drag Around the Screen
Still holding, slowly drag the sticker around until…
Step 4: Drag to Trash Icon
A trash can icon appears. Move the sticker directly above it.
Step 5: Lift Your Finger
And just like that, the sticker vanishes!
Repeat for any other unwanted stickers. Just know there‘s no way to retrieve deleted stickers.
Method 2: Removing Stickers from Your Library
To prevent a sticker from cluttering up your options in the future, delete it from your library:
Step 1: Tap Scissor Icon
Tap the vertical Snapchat menu, then the scissor icon.
Step 2: Locate Sticker
Scroll to find the sticker in your collection.
Step 3: Press, Hold and Drag to Trash
Just like before, hold down the sticker then move to the trash symbol to remove!
Now you know how to remove stickers entirely from Snapchat‘s suggestions.
Troubleshooting for Optimal Sticker Removal
