How Do I Delete Manual Time in UpWork?

Last updated on December 24, 2022 @ 3:23 am

If you’re like most people, you probably have a lot of manual time entries in your UpWork account. Maybe you’ve been tracking your time manually for a while, or maybe you just started using UpWork and forgot to turn on the auto-tracking feature. Either way, those manual time entries can add up quickly and make it difficult to get an accurate picture of your work history on UpWork.

The good news is that it’s easy to delete manual time entries in UpWork. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Log into your UpWork account and click on the “Reports” tab at the top of the page.

2. On the “Reports” page, click on the “Time” tab.

3. On the “Time” page, find the manual time entry or entries that you want to delete and click on the trash can icon next to them.

4. Confirm that you want to delete the time entry or entries by clicking on the “OK” button.

That’s it! Those manual time entries will be deleted from your account and will no longer show up in your reports.

If you’re not sure whether you should delete a manual time entry or not, here are a few things to keep in mind:

– If the manual time entry is for work that was done more than 90 days ago, it’s probably safe to delete it.
– If the manual time entry is for work that was done less than 90 days ago, you might want to keep it in case the client asks for proof of work (for example, if they question an invoice).
– If you’re not sure when the work was done or what project it was for, it’s probably best to leave it in case you need to reference it later.

In general, it’s a good idea to err on the side of caution and keep manual time entries that are less than 90 days old. But if you’re trying to clean up your reports or get a more accurate picture of your work history, feel free to delete any manual time entries that are more than 90 days old.

PRO TIP: If you delete manual time in Upwork, it will delete all of the data for that particular day. This could cause problems with your account if you need that data for future reference.
