# Cannot delete old shortcodes

 * I have tried editing the display text, deleting the shortcodes permanently, and
   recreating them entirely. Deleting the Plug-in and re-installing. Clearing cache.
   I have had the hosting company clear the cache. I have cleared the browser cache.
   I cannot remove the original display text that was created. I cannot remove the
   original shortcodes created. They show as deleted permanently but they are showing
   up in the article instead of the new shortcodes I have created. Please help!
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@britehomepets](https://wordpress.org/support/users/britehomepets/),
 * Sorry for the super late reply.
 * I guess it should be because of caching ?
    Can you please clear the cache from
   the cache plugin you use and try again ?
 * Thanks,
    Aakash
