unpin
Remove a brooch
To unpin is to remove a pin or pins from something, whether literal pins holding fabric or figurative ones.
In digital contexts, unpin means to remove something from a fixed position—unpinning a post removes it from the top of a feed, unpinning an app removes it from a taskbar or home screen.
I unpinned the old announcement to make room for the new one.
