Successfully Crawled Now that the lens has been successfully crawled, we can go back to our lens and remove the code.

Delete Claim Code from Lens: 

Delete Claim Code from Lens Go back to your Squidoo Lens, delete the Claim Code from your first module, save, and then click Publish again to restore your lens.
