[jayatupwork]

Hi,

I have an old work history which got 5 stars.

But i don't want it anymore in my profile.

Is there any way to remove it from my profile?

There is no button or other user interface element that allows you to remove an old item from your work history.

But there IS a way to make it so that pretty much nobody will ever look at it.
The more jobs you do, the more the older jobs get pushed to the button. And, in fact, those old jobs aren't even visible by default on your page. A person looking at your profile page would need to continually click "more" to see your earliest jobs.

Think of it this way:
Leonardo DiCaprio has been unable to remove "Critters 3" from his IMDb.com page.
The problem is: He really was in that move and nothing will ever change that. I'm sure that nothing you did in your early Upwork career is as embarassing as "Critters 3." So my advice is to not worry about it.

OP could fully refund the contract and that might make it no longer appear. But then, if it is still in his calculation window for JSS, it might cause a negative impact.
