If you've delegated some of your Steem Power to another user or account and are wondering how to remove the delegation you've come to the right place.
For those that don't know, you can delgate your Steem Power to others on the platform and there are many reasons you might do so.
You might be:
- Helping a friend or family member
- Supporting a contest
- Getting a return by loaning it out
- Sharing it with a friend while you head on vacation or any other number of reasons
Whatever the reason, when you're ready to reclaim you're delegated Steem Power you might find it a bit difficult to get the info you need to complete the process.
In my case I had delegated a small portion of my Steem Power to the Minnowbooster account to see what kind of returns it would provide. When my little experiment was done I couldn't find out how to start the process of reclaiming my Steem Power.
After quite a bit of searching I found the easiest way to do it was to use the Steemconnect.com service.
So before we get started, here's a screenshot showing that I had delegated 150 Steem Power to the Minnowbooster account. This is the Steem Power that I'm looking to undelegate.

Here's a rundown of the process.
1. Create your own custom URL from the template below.
https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=youraccount&delegatee=otheraccount&vesting_shares=0.000000%20VESTS
Copy the URL and replace the delegator account with your account name and the delegatee with the name of the account that you delegated your Steem Power to.
Here's what that looked like for me.

2. Now that you have your custom URL just copy and paste it into any web browser and hit enter.
You'll be taken to the Steemconnect site and it will show you a delegation window that informs you of the transaction you are about to create. In this case I'm being shown that I'll be delegating zero Steem Power (vests) to the Minnowbooster account.

3. Hit continue to initiate the transaction
At this point you'll have to sign in with your account and use your active key to authorize the transaction.

After you hit sign in, you'll be presented with a success notification to confirm the transaction.

4. That completes the process, you can now check your account to confirm the delegation was removed.
Remember that it will take 7 days for the Steem Power to be available for you to use again but if you check steemd you'll see that you have a new undelegate transaction.

If you were delegating to Minnow Booster you can also check you account status to confirm.

That's all there is to it. Hopefully this helps someone out. I know I spent awhile trying to figure out the process.
Thanks for this post! I was wondering how to undelegate,and asked a question about it,but now I have an answer! Do you lease Steem Power from minnowbooster? If yes,is it worth it?

No problem, glad I could help.
I don't lease Steem Power from minnowbooster, but I do loan mine out to those looking for a lease and I've had a positive experience doing that so far.

We run a small promotion upvote service mainly for our Community https://SteemThat.com would you be interested in leasing us Some Steem Power? I like to lease for 90 day terms and generally need 3000 SP to 4000 SP for that time period... I know those are huge upvotes for 0.05 SBD but it really helps the new people earn something for quality posts. We try to avoid junk spam posts or cheetah flagged posts. We have a blacklist and add folks from time to time. We are planning on going comment spam free very soon and just keep exclusive to those who already know or are members of SteemThat.com. We are not making any substantial profits after we PAY for the EC2 instance on AWS. We actually lose a little when the prices are back to normal but it helps a lot of people.
If you are interested we even have a quick delegation tool you can use through SteemConnect2.0 located here... https://steemthat.com/steem-that-select-your-delegation-amounts/
I would be willing to exchange some Steem That Tokens , Steemish, SBD, STEEM, Ethereum OR Even Paypal. I can get my hands on some Litecoin too.
Message me on https://SteemThat.com.

Hi @raised2b thanks for the awesome post... i tried but it didn't seem to work for me.... steemd is not working also....
how do we enter the vests & SP ?
Thanks again
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

If you use the link in the post it automatically sets the vest to zero, which is what you want to do to undelegate your SP. So if you're trying to undelegate all you have to do is input the two accounts in the URL, don't worry about the vests & SP.
If you're still having an issue you can snap a screenshot of the URL you're trying to use and I'll take a look.

you can actually undelegate from minnowbooster buy clicking on "delagate bot" and inserting "0" SP or even any negative number "-#"
I just tried this out of frustration and it worked hahahaha I went and saw it on steemd but I wasn't sure so I came here...this is the 2nd time I undelegate .. :)

Thanks for the idea i'll try it.
I delegated some of my SP to minnowbooster but it stopped to pay for more then a week now.
Couldn't find the answer why.
Another consideration is that you have to login with your active key according to this post and login to minnowbooster acct needs posting key that is safe in my opinion.

Yeah, it's still pretty hard to find out when you'll actually get your SP back, but knowing it takes a full 7 days you can kind of keep it in the back of your mind when you should see it show back up. It'll also show up as a transaction you can check with steemd.

Hi. Nice information. I am new in steemit and I am confused about the steem power. Can anyone help me telling me to what corresponds the values I have in my wallet in the box STEEM POWER? The value that it is in brackets (+14.516) is possible to undelegate? The value that is over (0.500) to what corresponds? See the picture. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

You can only undelegate Steempower that you control. That 14 Steem that you see in brackets is SteemPower that was delegated to you by Steemit Inc. in order to open an account for you. Every account created on Steemit has a cost and they paid that on your behalf so that you can get started using the platform. It is not yours though, it still belongs to them and they can undelegate it once you have enough Steem power of your own.
Once you have your own Steem power you can then delegate and use it in any way you'd like.

Thanks for this simple tutorial. I followed all the steps and Im pretty sure I did everything right. I just dont have steemd account so I cant see any message about it... do I just wait 7 days to see if it worked or can I register steemd acc. now and the message will be there even when the acc. was created later after undelegating?

No need to create a steemd account, it's just a block explorer, so all it does is show transactions on the blockchain.
You can see your transactions and any others you'd like.
Just go to https://steemd.com/@lepton
Looks like you undelegated to minnowbooster:

You'll just need to wait out the 7 day period now for it to be returned.

what is the difference between delegate to bot vs fill order? i delegated something to a bot and i thought that would get used but when i filled an order addition SP was removed/assigned to the order...my initial delegation remains unused?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
When you delegate to the bot, you are delegating to the Minnowbooster bot and you'll recieve an SBD payout based on curation rewards that the bot receives. When you fill an order in the market, you are delegating to another user and will receive a Steem payout daily based on the terms of the agreement.

Looks like you changed the vesting shares amount at the end from 0.0000 to 1000 which basically means that you changed the command to delegate 1000 vests instead of making your delegation 0, which would mean you undelegate.
All you need to do is put it back to zero, like it is in the template (vesting_shares=0.000000%20VESTS), and run the command again and it will undelegate.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

It depends on how you invested it. Did you delegate your Steem to Minnowbooster or did you actually power up your Steem to Minnowbooster? If you delegated it simply follow the instructions in this post. If you powered up Steem to the Minnowbooster account you're going to have to contact them on their discord chat and let them know your situation.
