Unsharing does not work

Sometimes, unsharing recipes does not work,
so my suggestion is a remove button (for it's author) on the recipe's site.

Beeing able to remove old script (versions) would help keeping overwiew on the whole recipe section.

I've found out when this happens:
If you share a recipe and then edit it on your PC (local), then you are not able to unshare it anymore.

This means, if you have created a script and run it with different parameters (which means changing the code a bit), you won't be able to unshare it again.

Is it the intention of the recipe/script removal request to also remove it from the client machines?

I'm sure there are some favorite scripts that people won't want to have yanked away.

And, if they are removed from the recipe/script library and someone has to reload their fold.it installation for any number of the usual reasons, how would they go about recovering their favorite recipes/scripts if they are removed from the web site?

I think perhaps this request needs to be re-thought….

Deleting scripts should only affect the recipe download sectionand no files on private PCs, of course.

It's just for removing old script versions with bugs and fewer features, accidentally saved scripts or special script mods for puzzles which have passed deadline.

For example it's not necesary to have 20 scripts setting a secondary structure of a puzzle which is not available for playing any longer, but keeping the original code or the latest one is a good idea.

It also happens when you reinstall your OS or Foldit.
Then, the recipe isn't associated with your PC anymore, so you can't delete it by the game's GUI.

Best way would be an option to delete it here from the recipe section by browser.
