Creator Backlash is bound to happen to any creator who's around for long enough. Many works, whether decades-old or released yesterday, may not best represent what they can accomplish now. It may seem embarrassing or regrettable now, but, for a lot of people, the old adage of "Live and Learn" rings true.
However, what if they can't live with it? It's one thing to publicly dismiss your work, but if one can go out of their way to act like it never existed, then it could be like it never happened. This is where Bury Your Art comes into play.
This can be done in multiple ways. They can refuse to re-release it on any physical or digital format. They can remove all traces that they worked on it on their websites and social media pages. If it's on a video platform, they can make the videos private or even delete them so no one would have a chance to see them and some would even delete them on their hard disks and other backups to ensure they'll never see the light of the day. They can have it erased from ever having existed In-Universe, spawning a Play-Along Meme of fans ceasing to notice, remember, or recognize it and "correcting" anyone who does.
With fans being inherently curious, this can sometimes lead to people being more inclined to check the work out. People want what they can't have, and if someone tells them no, it's the perfect motivation to Keep Circulating the Tapes. Because of this, many examples here are infamous and may have garnered fanbases exclusively because of the creator's attempted suppression.
May overlap with Banned Episode, Missing Episode, Denial of Digital Distribution or Distanced from Current Events. Sometimes can cause the Streisand Effect if done poorly. Compare with Canon Discontinuity, if it's the series itself that refuses to acknowledge a work within its own timeline, and Torch the Franchise and Run, where a creator attempts to end a work in a way where no one else can touch it. An attempt to modify a portion of a work to get rid of something they are not proud of would fall under Orwellian Retcon instead. If a character is given this treatment, it might be a reason the character is Exiled from Continuity. If someone does this with their work In-Universe, then it belongs in Old Shame.
Note: Please keep in mind that this isn't just any work that happens to be out of print or not easily available. There needs to be external factors, usually statements from the creator that they are trying to suppress the work, to count as an example.

The members of Super Mario 64 Beta Archive removed "1995/07/29 Build Rejected Commercial" shortly after it was uploaded. According to a post by Eric in the channel's community tab, the video was removed because some of the footage was altered before it was uploaded.

The Velvet Underground's final album, Squeeze, has never been reissued on a physical format and didn't appear on streaming services until 2014, owed to it being a de-facto Doug Yule solo album that Polydor Records rushed out the door to capitalize on the success of former frontman Lou Reed's Transformer the year prior. Yule dismissed the album in 1995 as "the blind leading the blind," and the other band members have refused to discuss it to this day.

In North America, the racially controversial Song of the South has suffered from this fate. Walt Disney Home Video has never officially released the full movie, although some VHS tapes, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs include clips. The Disney Sing-Along Songs video Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dahnote released on VHS to promote Song of the South's 1986 theatrical re-release has also never come to DVD; even though it kicked off the Sing-Along series, Disney hasn't sold it in any form since 2001 (though another volume with a song from the film did see a DVD release in 2006). Disney CEO Bob Iger even vowed to investors that this film will never see a Disney+ release either, as long as he remains in charge. However, Song of the South still occasionally aired on British TV as late as 2006, just not on any channels owned by Disney.

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood: The "Conflict" arc, a pro-disarmament Cold War allegory made during renewed tensions between the United States and Soviet Union, stopped airing after 1996 and was never officially re-released in any form. While neither the Fred Rogers Company nor PBS ever explained why, they were adamant that the episodes never see the light of day again, to the point of withholding them from Twitch's otherwise comprehensive marathon in 2017. Material from them wouldn't surface again until March of that year, when a fan uploaded the first two episodes to YouTube; the full arc would later be uploaded by another netizen on MySpleen and the Internet Archive the following year.

The 9/11 event in 2016, featuring 9/11 jokes, The Jetsons, and America-themed rips, was canceled partway through due to extreme backlash (not helped by this occurring directly after the poor backlash from the Bean rips). Several of the rips created for it never made it onto the channel itself. All rips from that day were deleted, including a few unrelated to the event.

Brazilian movie Cinderela Baiana, which earned a following for how it could charitably be called So Bad, It's Good, earned a video by Netflix with the film's star Carla Perez responding to people wanting the film on streaming, that invoked both this and Keep Circulating the Tapes, where Perez says "it only came out on VHS, I have the last tape here, and if it isn't on HD, Netflix doesn't add it", right before repeating one of the movie's most infamous lines.

BoxxyQuest: The Shifted Spires, the first of the Boxxy Quest duology, was taken down by the creator and is not publicly available due to the creator considering it dated. The sequel, BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm, which new players are encouraged to start with, contains a summary of the original with a download so players will not get lost with the references to it in this game.

The original broadcast of the fourth episode of Lost Universe saw a significant drop in animation quality due to the episode being hastily outsourced to a South Korean studio following a fire at E&G Films destroying its master negatives. Reception of this episode was so overwhelmingly negative that, following an official apology from TV Tokyo, the episode was remade from scratch for home video releases. Part of the episode's name, "Yashigani" ("Coconut Crab") has also become Fan Speak in Japan for cheap and ugly-looking animation.

Arlo's "Why Pikmin 3DS HURTS me" video was his most controversial vid by far, and he ended up removing it on the grounds of the "blow" the game in question dealt being lessened in the time since its announcement, and that the video's rant-y nature didn't reflect his intended direction of the channel in hindsight.

act-age was becoming a surprise hit for Shonen Jump, to the point that it even had a stage play adaptation planned. However, following the arrest of the manga's writer, Tatsuya Matsuki, for groping minors in August 2020, publisher Shueisha immediately cancelled the manga and withdrew it from circulation; both they and illustrator Shiro Usazaki additionally removed all references to it from official documentation and their social media accounts. The planned stage play was also cancelled. In her final word about the subject, Usazaki mentioned the decision was also taken out of respect for the victims, who might be reminded of their trauma every time they’d hear of the series or see a cover of it in stores.

The Jim Henson Company has become ashamed of the short-lived The Little Muppet Monsters due to the show's Troubled Production, to the point of retconning it from reruns of the The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years special from 1986, which was made before LMM got cancelled. The original broadcast of said special included cameos by the series' characters, clips from the series, and a mention of the show in a speech by Big Bird, all of which were edited out when the special was shown on Odyssey.

JonTron deleted a number of videos from his channels over the years due to either Early-Installment Weirdness or him being dissatisfied with the results in retrospect. One of these, "Apples and Breaks" (a video of him lamenting his broken Nintendo DS), became a popular "holy grail" among fans for two years, eventually leading to it being reuploaded by a fan.

The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future received plenty of backlash for its character depictions. Master Wong is a stereotypical proverb-spouting elderly kung-fu master, his daughter Lan has no real personality outside of being the love interest for Ook, and both of them have dashes for eyes. Author Dav Pilkey eventually recognized this, apologized, and pulled the book from publication in the wake of increased hate crimes against Asian-Americans in early 2021.

Elvis Presley:
Elvis recorded the occasional track that he felt was either too low-quality or too silly to be commercially released, and with a few exceptions was successful in preventing many of these songs from being officially released during his lifetime. Chief among these was "Dominic" from the 1968 movie Stay Away, Joe, sung to a bull who won't mate, which he talked RCA out of releasing at the time (it finally came out in 1994).
Having Fun with Elvis on Stage was unilaterally put together and released by manager Colonel Tom Parker as a cash grab. Designed to feature no material that RCA Records could possibly hold the rights to, it consists entirely of out of context snippets of Presley chatting with concert audiences. Presley loathed the album and personally had it withdrawn from store shelves; ironically, RCA would end up gaining ownership of the album anyways thanks to a technicality in Presley's contract, and they briefly reissued it after his death in 1977. However, once that print run was completed, the album would never officially return to store shelves again; Presley's estate has continued to suppress it in subsequent decades, never making it available on CD or digital platforms.
The posthumously-released television special Elvis In Concert, depicting one of his last performances, has never received an official home video release due to depicting Elvis in visibly poor health. The closest his estate has gotten to rereleasing the special have been allowing the use of archive footage in documentaries and the biographical film Elvis (2022), as well as keeping the soundtrack album in circulation.

Shortly after the Leaving Neverland documentary was released in 2019, Al Jean, the showrunner of The Simpsons, made the decision to completely remove the Michael Jackson episode "Stark Raving Dad" not only from syndication, but also all digital distribution and future home video releases, as well as intentionally withholding it from the launch of Disney+. Jean stated that he felt as if Michael used the episode as a method to groom children, thus felt uncomfortable to let it remain viewable anywhere.

SiIvaGunner had a large number of rips removed over the years. While some were taken down due to violating YouTube's policies, the following were taken down by the team themselves:
The "Green de la Bean" rips, a series of Bait-and-Switch videosnote "Stages 1-4 Intro - Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine", "Coffee Break - Mother 3", "MROB-6720m - Mother 3", "Green Hill Zone (Unused Mix) - Sonic the Hedgehog", "Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.) - Super Smash Bros. Brawl", "KILL A - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle", "Kirby Collecting (Unused Mix) - Kirby Mass Attack", "Puzzle Room - Kirby: Planet Robobot" (2nd Version), "Unnecessary Tension - Undertale", and "Deus Machina (Main Theme) - Deus Machina Demonbane" whose punchline was a Sensory Abuse video of a cartoon green bean, were all pulled after one of them ended up being flagged. A few of these rips would be remade without the Bean or at least with the Sensory Abuse removed. SiIvaGunner reluctantly retired the character with a somewhat Backhanded Apology in "An Ending - Undertale", which was itself deleted due to having been uploaded on 9/11 (see below). It didn't quite stop the character and Running Gag from appearing occasionally in subsequent rips, though usually without the Sensory Abuse (which was also downplayed in some Bean rips released shortly before the apology video).
The 9/11 event in 2016, featuring 9/11 jokes, The Jetsons, and America-themed rips, was canceled partway through due to extreme backlash (not helped by this occurring directly after the poor backlash from the Bean rips). Several of the rips created for it never made it onto the channel itself. All rips from that day were deleted, including a few unrelated to the event.
"Ashley's Song - WarioWare: Touched!" was pulled thanks to an edited line that joked about engaging in anal sex with Ashley; since she's canonically a minor, the team felt that the joke had unintended pedophilic implications.
"Final Boss - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles" was removed due to the team disliking its soundfont, which they described as "a midi slap with an inaccurate Genesis soundfont that we didn't expect anyone to actually like."
"Puzzle Room - Kirby: Planet Robobot" was removed due to it being a shock video that was uploaded unilaterally by Le Ruse Bird without the rest of the team's consent. The video would become a Role-Ending Misdemeanor for Le Ruse Bird, who was swiftly fired from the collective.
The first version of "Title Theme - 7 GRAND DAD" was made as a joke video consisting entirely of rips and Running Gags that the channel's fans disliked. It was taken down by the team after the second version of the video, a proper Grand Finale (at first), was published.
"Theme Song - Caillou" was removed after a ScareTheater video revealed that one scene in the rip (the man taunting a screaming kid locked in a shower) was sourced from what appeared to be a pedophilia ring, noting its similarity to another, verified child pornography video. The members of SiIvaGunner left a comment on the ScareTheater video stating that the team took the clip from 4chan's /x/ board without any knowledge of who made it or why.
"Environmental Noises - Super Smash Bros. Brawl" was removed due to it being a troll video of a pigeon being punched that was unilaterally uploaded by an unidentified member of the channel, who was promptly fired.
"abc_123_a - Undertale" was unlisted as an intentional artistic decision. The video parodies the Goner characters from Undertale, who, at the time of the rip's release, could only be found by hacking the game as part of a hidden metastory about the secret character W.D. Gaster. Keeping in line with its inspiration, the video itself was hidden so that it required a similar kind of deep snooping to discover.
"Giga Bowser - Super Smash Bros. Melee" was unlisted due to fan backlash towards its poor quality. A second, higher-quality version of the video was publicly uploaded in its place.
"Mute City (Multiplayer Mix) - Super Smash Bros. Brawl" was unlisted and replaced due to the team disliking its quality, particularly singling out the fact that it was off-key.
The original version of "Title Screen (Demo) - Super Mario 3D Land" was removed as an artistic decision, with the replacement video being edited to tie in with the lore surrounding Mr. Own and his murderous hatred of mashups.

Looney Tunes:
Since the late sixties, Warner Bros. has made sure to bury the existence of the Censored Eleven (a series of eleven cartoons that became notorious for their offensive and racist content) as much as possible, with the cartoons not having aired on television since 1968 and never receiving any official home video release. As of now, WB have only rereleased the cartoons once, which was during the first annual TCM Classic Film Festival in 2010. There were plans to release them on DVD roughly around that same time, but WB ultimately decided to scrap those plans, preferring to keep them buried for the time being.
Injun Trouble (1969), the final classic-era short, has never seen a rerelease either, due to a double-whammy of having racist caricatures of Native Americans that were barely acceptable even in 1969 (the title alone should be a red flag) and being from the unpopular Seven Arts-era (the Censored Eleven were all produced during the studio's heyday), causing it to become the rarest Looney Tunes short. Notably, it was the only Cool Cat cartoon that didn't resurface on Max.

The Fantastic Four is an unusual case. The film was completed and set for release in January 1994, only to be pulled and permanently shelved at the last minute, with cease and desist notices sent to the cast and crew to halt marketing. According to Stan Lee, the film was produced as an Ashcan Copy and thus was never meant to be released in the first place, but producer Roger Corman and director Oley Sassone contested this, stating that it was supposed to come out, only to be cancelled at the last minute due to executives at Marvel Comics fearing the possibility of the movie becoming a negative Audience-Coloring Adaptation.

The Day the Clown Cried tells the story of an unemployed circus clown that is hired by the Nazis to keep children distracted as they're led to their deaths in a concentration camp. The concept of the movie was blasted by the few people who got to see the finished picture, including Jerry Lewis himself, who considered this the worst, most embarrassing project he ever worked on, and for as long as he lived, swore that it would never be publicly released. Ultimately, Lewis donated a copy to the Library of Congress, on the condition they not screen it until June 2024; it was unanimously agreed that he chose that date because he was certain he would be dead by then (he would die two years after the donation).

Chugga's 2008 videos detailing major events from the Japanese release of Pokémon Platinum were privatized after a while, then deleted due to a mix of personal dissatisfaction and them not fitting in with his later work. Six videos from the series would resurface via fan uploads between 2011 and 2015 before Chugga eventually reuploaded all 88 installments due to fan demand following the conclusion of his proper Platinum let's play in 2016.

After regaining the rights to their catalog, the band withdrew the non-album single "Pop Is Dead" — which they openly regretted making — from circulation. It was last seen on the 2009 collector's edition of Pablo Honey, which, like the other collector's edition releases of their first six albums, was put out by Parlophone Records without the band's consent. "Pop Is Dead" currently stands as their only officially-released song not available on digital platforms.

Kyle's video on The Color of Pomegranates was removed after he received a scathing retort to his dismissal of the movie as a meaningless Mind Screw and his description of Sergei Parajanov as "some creepy guy" in light of his sexual assault charges. Said reply pointed out that Prajanov was a bisexual man and opponent of Soviet censorship whose charges were likely fabricated by the government to persecute him, and that the movie was explicit in its symbolic portrayal of Armenia's dying culture and history as a result of The Armenian Genocide and years of Soviet occupation, with all of this being explained in a companion documentary accompanying the film that Kyle likely neglected to watch. Kyle ended up pinning the comment, responded that he was genuinely sorry for the way he ended up portraying Parajanov in the essay, and then eventually deleted the video altogether.

After fully regaining their rights to their flagship The King of Fighters franchise, SNK was saddled with the problem of K9999, a character created by Eolith for 2001 who had so many similarities to Tetsuo Shima from AKIRA that they could have been easily sued. Their response was to go completely scorched earth on the character: kicking him out of 2002's Updated Re-release to replace with the more sympathetic Nameless, editing him out of archived artwork in the gallery of XIV, declaring in response to questions about him that he was "gone for good", and, as post-2016 reports suggested, making it unofficial company policy that even alluding to K9999 was forbidden. This lasted for two whole decades until the character was redesigned and reintroduced as Krohnen in XV, with one of their community managers confirming on Discord that the whole thing was orchestrated for shits and giggles.

While Bowie expressed open regret for much of his output during the '80s, he reserved his strongest, yet least-vocalized vitriol for the Never Let Me Down track "Too Dizzy", banning it from ever seeing the light of day again after the album's original 1987 release. This had the effect of ruling out any attempts to improve the song on the 2018 Remix Album for Never Let Me Down, which redid the songs' instrumentation to fulfill Bowie's years-old desire to redo the album. Bowie's labels and his estate have adhered to his request to this day, not even including it in the otherwise comprehensive Boxed Set Loving the Alien (1983-1988), which includes both the original version of the album and the Remix Album, the latter of which was specifically made for the boxed set. Bowie himself dismissed "Too Dizzy" as a throwaway song and described it as his least favorite track on his least favorite album, while biographer Nicholas Pegg attributes the self-imposed ban to the song's unintentionally creepy lyrics, being a jealousy song that accidentally came off as a stalker anthem.

Neon Genesis Evangelion:
When Netflix picked up the series in 2018, Studio Khara (founded by series creator and director Hideaki Anno) pulled the original English dub by ADV Films from circulation and instead retranslated and redubbed the show with a new cast. Consequently, the original English dub by ADV Films was indefinitely pulled from circulation. In 2021, Amanda Winn-Lee, who voiced Rei Ayanami in the ADV dub, revealed that the redub was the result of Khara seeking greater creative control over the series' English releases, with the Netflix dub's script being identical to the one that Studio Gainax attempted to use before Matt Greenfield forced them to go ahead with a less literal translation. Later subverted with the 2021 Blu-ray release of the series, whose Collector's and Ultimate Editions include the original dub alongside the new one.
Due to its negative critical reception and perceived poor audience receptionnote sources vary as to whether audience responses were genuinely poor or simply misinterpreted by Khara, Studio Khara had Funimation re-dub the third Rebuild of Evangelion film, You Can (Not) Redo for its home media release in 2016; the theatrical dub has never been officially re-released, and became lost media outside of a few low-quality theater recordings until a screener DVD was found in 2023. Khara would also re-dub it and the previous two films again, this time with Dubbing Brothers USA, when they were picked up by Prime Video in 2021.

Sesame Street:
Episode 847, which featured Margaret Hamilton reprising her role as the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, was pulled from circulation by Sesame Workshop after a few airings, following complaints from parents that Hamilton's performance had frightened their children. The only time the episode officially resurfaced was as part of a 2019 screening of content from Sesame Street that had been removed from circulation for one reason or another; according to lost media YouTuber Blameitonjorge, who attended the screening, Sesame Workshop is still too embarrassed by the outcry the episode spawned to re-release it. Episode 847 became a holy grail for lost media enthusiasts in the late 2010s before eventually surfacing online in 2022.
In 1992, the show's production staff put together "Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce" in response to a report by the US Census Bureau which claimed that 40% of American children saw their parents split during their upbringing. However, the episode was ultimately withheld — the only installment of Sesame Street to be pulled before it could air — after test screenings indicated that children were confused by its contents, in some cases worrying that their own parents were at risk of divorcing. The episode remains in the vaults to this day, barring a few clips that surfaced at a private screening of cut Sesame Street content in 2019, and the show wouldn't attempt to tackle divorce again until 2012 as part of an information kit for children with absent parents.

"Some Kind of Fool" was recorded and intended for release on Gentlemen Take Polaroids, only to be abruptly replaced with "Burning Bridges" at the last minute due to David Sylvian believing that it wasn't fit for release. Sylvian eventually re-recorded the vocal part and released the results on his 2000 rarities collection Everything and Nothing, but the original version remains unreleased, with Sylvian personally vetoing every attempt to get it out to the public.

"abc_123_a - Undertale" was unlisted as an intentional artistic decision. The video parodies the Goner characters from Undertale, who, at the time of the rip's release, could only be found by hacking the game as part of a hidden metastory about the secret character W.D. Gaster. Keeping in line with its inspiration, the video itself was hidden so that it required a similar kind of deep snooping to discover.

Producer George Martin was not fond of the stereo versions of the band's albums prior to The White Album, describing them as "very woolly, and not at all what I thought should be a good issue." Consequently, he sought to remix them for the 1987 CD releases. Due to time constraints, he only got to Help! and Rubber Soul, with prior albums being put out in mono and later ones using the original stereo mixes. Nevertheless, the remixed versions of these two albums would become standard, with the original stereo mixes only scarcely being reissued over the years.

Having Fun with Elvis on Stage was unilaterally put together and released by manager Colonel Tom Parker as a cash grab. Designed to feature no material that RCA Records could possibly hold the rights to, it consists entirely of out of context snippets of Presley chatting with concert audiences. Presley loathed the album and personally had it withdrawn from store shelves; ironically, RCA would end up gaining ownership of the album anyways thanks to a technicality in Presley's contract, and they briefly reissued it after his death in 1977. However, once that print run was completed, the album would never officially return to store shelves again; Presley's estate has continued to suppress it in subsequent decades, never making it available on CD or digital platforms.

The 1959 film adaptation of Porgy and Bess was pulled from distribution after producer Samuel Goldwyn's license expired in 1974. The estate of the original opera's composer, George Gershwin, have consistently refused to let the film become publicly available again despite repeated requests to do so; it has never been released on home video as a result. Gershwin's brother and collaborator Ira called the film a "piece of shit" and reportedly ordered Goldwyn to destroy every surviving print of the film. However, the Library of Congress still kept its copy (which was submitted for copyright purposes) and digitized it for public viewing; a high-quality film print would also surface in time for a 2007 screening at Manhattan's Ziegfeld Theatre.

In regards to The Star Wars Holiday Special, George Lucas allegedly said, "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that special and smash it." Because of this, it was never re-aired after its initial airing and has never seen any sort of official release, something that has remained true even after Disney bought LucasFilm. There are a few things he didn't mind though: The Boba Fett short was the only part of the special that was remastered and featured as an Easter Egg for the Blu-Ray release of the six films that he oversaw, also receiving a Disney+ release in 2021 and a Little Golden Book in 2022; and some worldbuilding elements, notably Chewbacca's family and the special's holiday Life Day, were imported into later canon works in both Star Wars Legends and Disney's Star Wars Expanded Universe.

The 2004 manga adaptation of Haruhi Suzumiya was only released in Japan, and only saw a limited print run, to where a physical copy is hard to find even with the help of the internet. The artist of this particular iteration got fired, either due to the artist drawing and selling unauthorized hentai for the series he was drawing for, or the artwork seen in this series being less than stellar (most likely the latter). Either way, the publisher would rather forget it ever existed, going as far as to commission a completely new manga series to another artist rather than reprinting this one once the anime got popular.

Fans of anarchic comedy clowns The Goodies - and the three Goodies themselves - all suspect the BBC has done exactly this to erase a long-running spectacularly popular show from the 1970s that ran for the life of the decade. When the BBC has exhumed and repeated practically every other 1970s comedy show, including some which have far more spectacularly politically incorrect moments than the Goodies, this series (hailed as a serious competitor to Monty Python) remains uncelebrated and unrepeated, likely due to the show falling foul of senior executives with a lot of clout and a desire to promote Monty Python instead. One episode - and far from being the best - was grudgingly repeated on the show's thirtieth anniversary. And that's been it.

Wu-Tang Clan: Enforced as an artistic decision for Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. In response to the low royalties generated by streaming services and a perception that the platform was devaluing the artistic integrity of music, the group made exactly one copy of the album. It was then auctioned off by Paddle8, with a ban placed on any commercial releases of the material — including by the band themselves — until 2103, 88 years after its 2015 release; however, the album's owner was permitted to play the album at listening parties. The album would change hands over the years, and as of 2021 is owned by PleasrDAO, an NFT firm, with only a few tracks leaking online.

Just before All the Money in the World was due for release, Kevin Spacey, who played J. Paul Getty, was accused of sexual misconduct by several men, leading director Ridley Scott to reshoot all of Spacey's scenes with Christopher Plummer in his place. Scott went on record stating that the Spacey cut will likely never be released as a result.

After Inchon turned out to be a Box Office Bomb, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ended its theatrical run prematurely, and its ties to the highly controversial Unification Church ensured that it would only scarcely resurface over the years. It never returned to theaters, has never been released on home media or streaming services, and was only sporadically aired on the Unification Church's own TV network, ALTV. After ALTV was acquired and renamed by ComStar Media Fund in 2009, the film would never reenter the public eye outside of bootlegs.

Episodes 1-31 of Stampy's Lovely World were privatised for years due to Stampylongnose's regret over using profanity on a channel that turned family-friendly. While some episodes have been reuploaded and censored under the Lovely World Classic label, others remain privatised to this day.

The Rolling Stones recorded the non-album track "Cocksucker Blues" as both an Ashcan Copy and a Contractual Obligation Project, wanting to complete their contract with Decca Records sooner while also never intending to give the song a public release. The track surfaced anyway on the German Boxed Set The Best of the Rest due to an oversight, which resulted in the set being recalled and reissued without the song.

The original theatrical cuts of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi are the most notorious cases of this. While all three films are easily available, most modern versions since 1997 are of the "special editions" of the films. The theatrical cuts have not seen an official release at all since 2006 (and even so, it was only a dump of the LaserDisc versions) and are not acknowledged by Lucasfilm. This was deliberate, as George Lucas hated the original versions due to how "unfinished" they are in his eyes and wants the special editions to effectively replace and bury the original unaltered versions for good, to the point of submitting the special editions to the National Film Registry instead of the original versions (despite requests from the Registry to do so) and having it in his contract with Fox that any surviving copies of the original films be "hunted down and destroyed". This remains the case even after Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 and 20th Century Fox in 2019.

The original theatrical cut of The Shining contained an epilogue where Stuart Ullman visits Danny and Wendy in the hospital and reveals that Jack's corpse couldn't be found by the police. A week into its theatrical run, Stanley Kubrick had the scene excised from all prints of the film and ordered that the footage be returned to Warner Bros., thus ending the movie with a cut from Jack's frozen body to his appearance in a photo from Independence Day 1921. Kubrick additionally suppressed the footage from appearing in any later screenings or home media releases, even as a Deleted Scene; it remains MIA to this day, with his estate continuing to withhold it from public availability.

Dalton Trumbo withdrew Johnny Got His Gun from print after Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. The American Communist Party, to which Trumbo belonged, openly opposed US intervention against Nazi Germany prior to the invasion due to their alliance with the Soviet Union via the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and the novel was used as a rallying cry for this purpose. Thus, Trumbo and the rest of the party felt that the Nazi invasion invalidated the book's goals and instead shifted focus towards supporting US intervention against Germany, so long as it included an alliance with the Soviets. The book only returned to print after the end of World War II.

Comedy Central seems to have little regard for Mystery Science Theater 3000; this was most blatantly on display during a 13th Anniversary special the network had. Not only was the show utterly ignored, but what was the network's first major hit was ignored in favor of Politically Incorrect (the network's second major hit), which was declared the network's first big hit.

Kyle's largely turned against his pre-Melancholia reviews, feeling he was trying too hard to be funny over being informative.

At the beginning of the Taxidermia review, Kyle mentions that he's been hesitant to upload his older episodes to his YouTube channel, since the show has moved away from being a straight Caustic Critic show into more analytical ground, and those early episodes don't reflect that. Save for his episode on Kenneth Branagh, most of them were not imported to his YouTube channel when it became his main platform.

Remo Drive is notorious for this:
First they took down their debut EP Remo Drive EP 1 and any singles released the same year after releasing a follow up, Away, containing re-recordings of a few songs from the era.
Then a few months after releasing their third EP Stay Out Longer, they took that and Away down and replaced them with Demos 2014 (basically both releases remixed and combined into one) and basically said that their previous releases didn't count when they called Stay Out Longer's follow-up, Wait for the Sun, their "first EP".
Then they removed Wait for the Sun, the "Breathe In" single, and all of their split EPs shortly before Greatest Hits was released, leaving only Demos 2014. Frontman Erik Paulson was embarrassed of Wait for the Sun despite its critical acclaim, and the rest of the songs he was dissatisfied with the production and wanted to re-work.
Finally, Demos 2014 was taken down around the time Pop Music was released. When Erik said he wanted to re-work his older songs, only one song, "Heartstrings", was re-recorded with slicker production and released on Pop Music. No other older songs were re-done. Erik is openly critical about the band's older work, and sought to steer the band away from their old sound with Natural, Everyday Degradation.

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command was a spinoff animated series from the Toy Story franchise. Three episodes were released on VHS and DVD, packaged as Buzz Lightyear: The Adventure Begins, and nothing else. It last aired in 2008, and no plans have been announced to stream the series on Disney+. Apparently, the reason it started getting this treatment is because of John Lasseter's hatred of the show. This extended to his employer, Pixar, even after Lasseter's departure, having since released the 2022 film Lightyear as the "true" Buzz Lightyear spinoff, much to the dismay of many Toy Story fans.

ZUN discontinued the PC-98 era Touhou Project games in 2002, shortly after the release of Touhou Koumakyou ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, which acted as a Continuity Reboot for the franchise. Exactly why he did so was never explained outside a brief mention of not wanting to return to 16-bit graphics in Akyu's Untouched Score Vol. 3. Nonetheless, the PC-98 titles were never re-released and he has actively taken down fans' attempts to Keep Circulating the Tapes.

Zarxrax, creator of AMV Hell, eventually took down the download links to AMV Hell 0 and AMV Hell Divided By 0 (which both use clips from hentai anime and have very adult, line-crossing humor) from the official website. His reasoning was that as he got older, he realized that said videos had "truly reprehensible" content that he didn't want to spread any further, and also requested that they no longer be screened at conventions.

The Nostalgia Chick:
The review of the 1984 film adaptation of Dune was taken down shortly after its release, as Lindsay Ellis felt that most of the plot holes she brought up were actually addressed within the film itself, as unclear as they were.
Lindsay Ellis privated almost all of the series' videos thanks to her Creator Backlash towards them, believing that they helped foster an overreliance on the Caustic Critic reviewing style among content creators. The only videos still publicly available are the reviews for Freddy Got Fingered and The Lord of the Rings, which were reuploaded to Ellis' main channel.

Allen Gregory, a short-lived Fox animated series lambasted by critics and audiences for its abhorrent and oftentimes straight-up disgusting sense of humor and unlikable and/or wildly offensive characters, was so reviled by Fox itself that they quickly scrubbed any trace of it from any of their website and pulled it from any websites offering episodes as digital downloads. It's also the one show they most aggressively take down illegal uploads of.

The Rose of Versailles: An alternate version of Episode 24, titled "Portrait of a Burning Rose", was put together and broadcast in 1980 as a Gecko Ending for the anime adaptation in territories that cancelled its broadcast due to scheduling issues. The episode hastily recaps everything up to Episode 35, ending with Oscar and André affirming their love for one another. Because of the circumstances with its making, everyone involved with the anime withheld the episode from further release after its broadcast, never re-airing it or including it on home media releases; for a while, many people weren't sure if it even existed until screencaps from a VCR recording surfaced online in 2020.

The UK release of A Clockwork Orange provoked so much controversy over allegedly inspiring several copycat crimes that Stanley Kubrick, who had emigrated to the UK, received several death threats and had his house blockaded by protestors. In response, he requested that Warner Bros. pull all UK distribution of the film, which they did, even suing small arthouse theaters that tried to screen the film. It did not receive any sort of wide release in the UK until after Kubrick's death.

It's been alleged that after the release of Leonard Part 6, Bill Cosby was so ashamed of the film that he bought the TV rights to ensure it could not be shown on television. The fact that it was broadcast on CBS in 1990 seems to put this allegations into rumor territory. However, he did not buy the home video rights, so the film was still released on DVD.

10,000 Maniacs removed their Cover Version of "Peace Train" by Cat Stevens from American CD, cassette, and MiniDisc reissues of In My Tribe in 1989. The band cut the track in protest of interview comments Stevens (by then a Muslim convert under the name Yusuf Islam) made that were widely interpreted as supporting the Iranian government's death order against British Indian author Salman Rushdie, whose 1988 novel The Satanic Verses was accused of anti-Islam blasphemy. The band would eventually include the song on the 2004 Greatest Hits Album Campfire Songs, but it remains absent from most American reissues of its original parent album.

Save for his episode on Kenneth Branagh, most of them were not imported to his YouTube channel when it became his main platform.
After both episodes of his "Cinema Antifa" series on Casablanca and Triumph of the Will were subjected to endless pestering by fascism apologists, Kyle made both videos private and declared the series a mistake. The stealth pilot episode on To Be or Not to Be is still up, however.
Kyle's video on The Color of Pomegranates was removed after he received a scathing retort to his dismissal of the movie as a meaningless Mind Screw and his description of Sergei Parajanov as "some creepy guy" in light of his sexual assault charges. Said reply pointed out that Prajanov was a bisexual man and opponent of Soviet censorship whose charges were likely fabricated by the government to persecute him, and that the movie was explicit in its symbolic portrayal of Armenia's dying culture and history as a result of The Armenian Genocide and years of Soviet occupation, with all of this being explained in a companion documentary accompanying the film that Kyle likely neglected to watch. Kyle ended up pinning the comment, responded that he was genuinely sorry for the way he ended up portraying Parajanov in the essay, and then eventually deleted the video altogether.

Brazilian musician Tim Maia recorded two albums that basically amounted to indoctrination to a cult he joined, the Rational Culture. They flopped, and once he was disillusioned and dropped the cult to return to his previous Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll life, Maia ordered the destruction of unsold copies, prohibited re-releases and discouraged re-recording of the material by other artists. In the meantime the albums found a following that ignored the lyrics to admire the impressive musicianship of a great band delivering soulful funk, along with Maia's voice sounding clean after dropping the drugs, and thus surviving LPs were highly sought. Only 9 years after Maia's death the Racional Vols got a CD re-release that put them in wide circulation again.

Doctor Who:
The originally-recorded version of the first episode for "An Unearthly Child" was shelved by the BBC and redone from the ground-up at the order of series creator Sydney Newman, both due to a bevy of technical errors and because he found William Hartnell's performance as the Doctor too abrasive. Miraculously, the original version (commonly referred to as "the Pilot Episode" despite not being a true one) survived the BBC's routine wiping policy, and a mislabeled routine telerecording was discovered in the archives in 1978, just after the policy ended. It eventually saw public release in 1991 as part of the home video compilation The Hartnell Years.
Douglas Adams attempted to do this with "Shada", a serial he wrote that was abandoned mid-production following a workers' strike in 1979. Adams disliked the story, refused to license it for the Doctor Who Novelisations (it eventually got one in 2012, over a decade after his death), and nearly would've had the serial buried completely (barring some clips being recycled for "The Five Doctors") had he not absentmindedly signed an agreement in 1992 that allowed the BBC to release a reconstruction of it - ultimately three as of 2021, in fact.note A version of the Shada story was re-used by Adams in his novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, recycling the main characters and aspects of the plot. The Doctor was re-written into eccentric private detective Dirk Gently.
The original 1985 cut of the short "A Fix With Sontarans" was pulled from circulation when its host Jimmy Savile was posthumously outed as the most monstrous sexual predator ever known in the history of the United Kingdom and completely unpersoned from British society since. It will remain that way after a Savile-less George Lucas Altered Version was released in 2022.
After "The Dark Dimension" was scrapped, the Eastenders crossover "Dimensions in Time" was made in its place as the new 30th anniversary special. However, it was made under the agreement that it would never be re-released, and the BBC have adhered to this request to this day.

Tame Impala withdrew the original single version of "Borderline" from circulation after the release of its parent album, The Slow Rush, due to frontman Kevin Parker's dissatisfaction with its mixing (specifically describing the bassline as not being prominent enough). As a result, the reworked album version of the song is the only one officially available.

Unus Annus was done with this in mind. A new video would be released every day for a whole year. On the final day the channel was deleted with the intent being all the videos are lost forever. Markiplier and the rest of the team even request for the videos not to be reuploaded.

Japan:
According to Mick Karn in a 1996 interview, he and the rest of the band were "really ashamed" of, and "would absolutely hate anyone to hear", their early demos for the German Hansa record label (at the time "basically a disco-oriented label with Boney M. and people like that"), which Karn describes as the result of "spend[ing] quite a long time in the studio to convince [the label] that we were not a disco band — that we weren't very good at disco music". The demos have never been released as a result.
"Some Kind of Fool" was recorded and intended for release on Gentlemen Take Polaroids, only to be abruptly replaced with "Burning Bridges" at the last minute due to David Sylvian believing that it wasn't fit for release. Sylvian eventually re-recorded the vocal part and released the results on his 2000 rarities collection Everything and Nothing, but the original version remains unreleased, with Sylvian personally vetoing every attempt to get it out to the public.

The posthumously-released television special Elvis In Concert, depicting one of his last performances, has never received an official home video release due to depicting Elvis in visibly poor health. The closest his estate has gotten to rereleasing the special have been allowing the use of archive footage in documentaries and the biographical film Elvis (2022), as well as keeping the soundtrack album in circulation.

Disney is infamously known to do this to their less successful movies starting with The Black Cauldron, with The Great Mouse Detective and Oliver & Company rarely ever discussed (while these two movies were far more successful than we thought, you can blame their obscurity on The Little Mermaid (1989), whose success blew these two movies out of the water), along with retroactively, The Aristocats (at least outside of Japan), Robin Hood (1973), The Rescuers, and The Fox and the Hound as well (in other words, basically most of their "Dark Age" movies aside from Winnie the Pooh). When considering Disney Renaissance movies, this applies to The Rescuers Down Under, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney), Hercules, and Tarzan (basically every movie in the renaissance that is neither a Disney Princess movie note  consisting of The Little Mermaid (1989), Beautyandthe Beast, Aladdin (Jasmine), Pocahontas, and Mulan, Esmeralda, along with Tinkerbell were originally both official members at the time the franchise was first launched, but were quickly removed for this very reason nor The Lion King (1994), although Tarzan's case is simply due to copyright reasons, and thus cannot allow references to this movie without getting into legal trouble). And for the early 2000s, every movie that isn't Lilo & Stitch,note Fantasia 2000, Dinosaur, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, Home on the Range, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, and Bolt and basically all of the wartime package movies.note Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music (which for that matter, remains the only Disney Animated Canon movie to not be available on Disney+), Funand Fancy Free, Melody Time, and The Adventuresof Ichabodand Mr Toad Strange World is notably the latest victim in the canon to suffer this fate because of this trope.This may also explain why their Villains franchise has more characters included than their Princess franchise, which only has 13, as of Moana and Raya and the Last Dragon (Elsa and Anna are not counted as official Princesses). Special mention goes to Chicken Little, whose title character is a summon in Kingdom Hearts II. Both came out in 2005, the only year in which a Disney product would acknowledge Chicken Little in such a significant capacity, given its generally awful reception. However, this trope is mostly averted with Pixar... Mostly, that is.

Queen:
David Bowie recorded backing vocals for "Cool Cat", but ended up dissatisfied with the results and asked the band to remove them. As this happened just days before Hot Space's planned release date, Queen had to undergo a bit of Schedule Slip to comply with Bowie's request. This early version of "Cool Cat" would become a popular bootleg among Queen fans and Bowie fans alike after it was discovered on an Elektra Records test pressing of Hot Space.
Robert Plant's performance of "Innuendo" was one of several segments from the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert that were omitted from the VHS and LaserDisc releases due to time constraints. When the band sought to restore these songs for the DVD release, Plant himself asked them to leave "Innuendo" out thanks to his dissatisfaction with his performance.

The second season of the 1990 anime adaptation of The Moomins, Delightful Moomin Family: Adventure Diary, was maligned by the show's own producers, with Dennis Livson stating that they ran out of material to adapt and that the season should never have been made. Consequently, the second season was never dubbed into English note  it did receive few dubs in other languages, such as Arabic, Italian and Spanish and remains in No Export for You status, with the official YouTube channel for the anime stopping firmly at episode 78.

Jarre's first two albums, Deserted Palace and the soundtrack to The Burned Barns, went out of print by the time Oxygène released and were never reissued for decades. Jarre himself chose to ignore the existence of both records, instead treating Oxygène as his true debut album. Dreyfus Records would eventually reissue The Burned Barns on CD in 2003, but Deserted Palace remains AWOL.

The Unfunnies hasn't been in print since the comic ended in 2007, and writer Mark Millar has removed all references to the comic from his website (including not listing artist Anthony Williams as a collaborator), doesn't answer questions about the book, and even left it out of The Art of Millarworld, a compilation of the covers of every book that Millar wrote that he owned the rights to. Williams also refuses to talk about the book. Millar has also scrubbed any acknowledgment of his very poorly-received Marvel teen romance comic Trouble.

ContraPoints' host, Natalie, deleted all of the channel's old videos prior to "Decrypting the Alt-Right: How to Recognize a F@scist" due to them triggering such intense gender dysphoria (given that they were filmed and released prior to her transition) that she can barely watch them herself, let alone feel comfortable with the thought that they're still up online for the whole world to see.

In 1976, Mike Oldfield remixed Hergest Ridge for the Boxed Set Boxed due to his dissatisfaction with the original 1974 mix, which was rushed. He then made sure that the new version was the only one used on future reissues across formats until the 2010 remix, which featured the original mix on a bonus disc.

Injun Trouble (1969), the final classic-era short, has never seen a rerelease either, due to a double-whammy of having racist caricatures of Native Americans that were barely acceptable even in 1969 (the title alone should be a red flag) and being from the unpopular Seven Arts-era (the Censored Eleven were all produced during the studio's heyday), causing it to become the rarest Looney Tunes short. Notably, it was the only Cool Cat cartoon that didn't resurface on Max.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's 2011 debut EP Angelesa was out of print for a long while, with Stu Mackenzie saying on the band's website that he considers it "fake" and non-canon. It wouldn't return to print until 2020, when it and various pre-2011 songs were included on the Bandcamp-exclusive Teenage Gizzard compilation.

ProtonJon's first LP was of Kirby Super Star, and like his other early content, it was uploaded to Google Videos rather than YouTube. Jon ended up disliking the playthrough so much that when Google Videos was shut down, he only reuploaded the first part, refusing to put the rest up as well. Consequently, the other videos only survive through fan reuploads.

Warriors of the Wind, the 1985 English dub of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, has never been re-released since New World Media's rights to the film expired in 1995. The dub was loathed by director Hayao Miyazaki for its heavy edits, leading Studio Ghibli (formed by Nausicaä alums in the wake of its Japanese success) to institute their famous "no cuts" policy for later English dubs of their works. Fittingly, Disney would put out a more faithful English dub of Nausicaä in 2005.
