unsave

Undo the preservation

To unsave is to remove something from a saved or bookmarked collection, reversing a previous save action.

The term belongs to digital interfaces—social media posts, browser bookmarks, video playlists: I unsaved that recipe after I tried it and it was terrible.

The word mirrors the convention of un-prefixed verbs for toggling states: unfriend, unfollow, unlike.
