Have you ever been scrolling through your Fortnite locker and thought, "Wow, I have way too much stuff"? If you're anything like me, your collection of skins, back blings, and emotes has probably gotten a little out of hand. It can be a real pain to find the items you actually want to use when you have to sift through a mountain of cosmetics you never touch. Luckily, Fortnite has a feature that can help you tidy up your locker and make it much easier to navigate.

So, what does it mean to archive an item in Fortnite? To put it simply, archiving an item hides it from your main locker view without permanently deleting it. Think of it like putting your winter clothes in storage during the summer. You still own them, but they're not cluttering up your closet. This is a great way to keep your locker organized and only see the items you're currently using or loving.

How to Archive Items in Fortnite

Archiving items in Fortnite is a super simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you out:

1. Go to your Locker: From the main menu, navigate to your locker where all your cosmetic items are stored.

2. Select the item: Find the item you want to archive. This can be a skin, back bling, pickaxe, glider, or emote.

3. Press the archive button: On the bottom right of the screen, you'll see an option to "Archive". Press the corresponding button (it's the Y button on Xbox and Triangle on PlayStation).

4. Confirm your choice: A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm that you want to archive the item. Click "Archive" and you're done!

I remember the first time I used the archive feature. My locker was a mess of old battle pass skins and emotes I never used. I spent about 15 minutes archiving everything I didn't want to see, and it was a game-changer. My locker felt so much cleaner and it was way easier to put together my favorite loadouts.

What if I want my archived items back?

Don't worry, your archived items are not gone forever! You can easily unarchive them at any time. Here's how:

1. Go to your Locker: Just like before, head to your locker.

2. Filter for archived items: You'll see a filter option that allows you to view your archived items.

3. Select the item to unarchive: Find the item you want to bring back to your main locker and select it.

4. Press the unarchive button: You'll see an option to "Unarchive". Press the corresponding button.

5. Confirm your choice: A pop-up will ask you to confirm that you want to unarchive the item. Click "Unarchive" and it will be back in your main locker.

I once accidentally archived my favorite skin, the Peely. I was in a panic for a minute, thinking I had lost it for good. But then I remembered the unarchive feature and was able to get it back in no time. It was a huge relief!
