Remove, deactivate and activate AdSense channels

This article describes how to remove, deactivate or activate custom channels and URL channels in AdSense. The following describes how these actions affect data collection and AdSense reports:

• Remove: Removing a channel deletes it from your reports.
• Deactivate: When you deactivate a channel, our system stops collecting data on it, but it's saved in your "Reports" page. You can reactivate it if you want to start collecting data on it again.
• Activate: When you activate a deactivated channel, our system starts collecting data on it again.
