How to Delete Resume from LinkedIn

In addition to the resume that you placed on your profile, you might also want to address the resumes that LinkedIn automatically saved when you were applying to jobs on the site.

2. Choose Settings & Privacy from the dropdown menu
3. Choose the Privacy tab
4. Choose Job Seeking Preferences from the left column

6. Slide the button next to Save Onsite Application Answers to OFF.

This will delete the old resume on LinkedIn that you used during a job hunt.
