Deleted articles keep showing in the News web part
Hi
We are soon launching a new intranet based on SharePoint Online communication sites. We have local news sites and the articles from these are all shown on a central news site.
Our editors are creating test articles, and these keep showing up in the News web part long after they have been deleted - and we are talking weeks after!
I am desperate to find a way to remove these before we launch. Any suggestions?

Same prolem here.
We have an Intranet launch soon and having the following issues since some weeks:
- deleted news items keep showing up in the home page news webparts (rollup news from other sites, seleted y 'from this sites'). The news articles in the sites where they are created have a news wepoart too, and there they disappear. there (news 'from this site')
- They keep in there for weeks now - no possbiility to remove them
- clearing the recycle bin or reindexing the site pages library does not help either
- also the labels on the picture do not work (some do, some don't). These labels link to the news site homepage where the article is from.
-We roll up from 10 sites on the homepage in 2 news webpart
-All 10 (subject) news sites are organizational news sites and set as such with Powershell.
Mark_Lammerse I always tell our staff not to delete a news item as it doesn't delete it from the the top-level hub news web part. Instead they should demote the news article from Promoted State = 2 to Promoted State = 0 which WILL remove the article from the hub news web part. By default the Promoted State column in the Site Pages library is read-only, but you can can make it editable. I have posted a how-to on that here.
