Generally speaking, the Archive feature in Fortnite is used to hide ugly items while picking out cosmetics for a character. However, since the inauguration of Donald Trump on Monday, Fortnite players have been using the feature for a very specific reason: to remove the Tesla Cybertruck from the game.
“Question, is it possible to message Epic support to remove something from your locker forever?” wrote one user in Reddit post upvoted more than 4,300 times. “After recent events I don’t even want this thing in my archives even. Looking for genuine help on the matter.”
Unfortunately for the Cybertruck-havers, the Archive feature in Fortnite doesn’t permanently delete an item from an account. It just hides it from the main Locker menu. But you can at least Archive it and forget it. So if you’re among the people who are now regretting having the Cybertruck, here’s how to Archive it (and other items) from your Fortnite Locker.
