unselected
Not picked out
Unselected describes something not chosen from a set of options.
In computing, an unselected checkbox or menu item remains in its default state, awaiting user action: The unselected files won't be deleted.
More broadly, anything passed over or left out: unselected candidates, unselected data points.
