You can't delete Stars from your balance or erase their history on Telegram. But you can remove almost everything around them: your name under a post, Star reactions in your channel, the fee for messages and subscriptions that take Stars every month.

## Can you delete your Stars history

No. My Stars keeps every top-up and every spend — purchases, gifts, reactions, paid posts, subscriptions — and neither a single transaction nor the whole history can be deleted: Telegram has no such feature. Only you see your history.

Where to find it is in [where to see your Stars on Telegram](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/stars-balance).

## How to remove a Star reaction under a post

- **Right after sending.** A notification with an undo button appears — while it's on screen, you can cancel the reaction and keep your Stars.
- **Later.** The Stars are already with the channel and can't be returned. You can only remove your name from the list of supporters: turn off "Show me in Top Senders".

How to send Stars without your name is in [anonymous Stars](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/anonymous-stars).

## How to turn off Stars in your channel

If you are an admin and don't want Star reactions under posts:

1. Open "Channel Settings" → "Reactions".
2. Turn off paid reactions.

Stars the channel already received stay on its balance: you can withdraw them through Fragment — [how to withdraw Stars from a channel](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/withdraw-stars-from-channel).

## How to turn off messages for Stars

If you charged Stars for private messages and now want people to write to you without paying:

1. Open "Settings" → "Privacy and Security" → "Messages".
2. Instead of charging for messages, choose who can write to you.

To stop charging just one person, use "Remove Fee" in your chat with them. In a group, the owner turns off the message fee in "Permissions". More in [messages for Stars](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/paid-messages).

## How to cancel a subscription paid in Stars

Paid subscriptions to channels and bots that take Stars every month are gathered in My Stars → "My subscriptions". Tap a subscription and choose "Cancel Subscription": access stays until the end of the paid month, and nothing more is charged.

## How to remove gifts from your profile

Gifts bought with Stars can't be deleted, but you can hide them from your profile so only you see them. A regular gift can be converted to Stars in the first 7 days, and then it disappears. All the ways are in [gifts on your profile](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/hide-gifts-in-profile).

> **Important:** If you delete your account, the Stars on its balance are lost: Telegram's rules don't refund them. Unneeded Stars are better spent or sold.

Stars on your account that you no longer need can be sold to the Shiba Bank bot for USDT; the bot shows the rate before the sale.
