You can close a stiky in two ways:

1. Saving its data
2. Permaently deleting all its data

Note: a sticky without text is deleted anyway

Close and save data

You can close a sticky and save its data in two ways:

• Grabbing them with the mouse outside the text area and moving them futher than one of the lateral edges of the screen (caution: moving a sticky further than the lower edge it is permanently deleted)
• By the dedicated hotkey (default 'F12')

Closed stickies are saved on disk in separate files, depending on whether the alert is set or not ('Stickies with alert' or 'Outdated stickies').

Both data of the two types of closed stickies can be retrieved at any time through their respective windows (List of stickies with alert and List of outdated stickies).

Permanently delete sticky data

To permanently delete a sticky (all data will be lost) simply:

1. While the sticky is open on the desktop:
   
   Grab it and move it lower than the bottom side of the monitor
   
   
2. Once the sticky has been closed:

• If it's a sticky without alert or with alert exceeded:
  
  -Open the window of the outdated stickies
  -Press the 'Delete' button of the sticky you want to delete
  
  
• If a sticky is active (alert inserted and not yet exceeded):
  
  -Launch the sticky through the window of stickies with alert
  -Perform the procedure at point n. 1
