can someone tell me how to take things off my wishlist?

Go to your wishlist, click whatever category the item is in that you want to delete, and click the little checkbox under that item that says Delete next to it. Then click Organize Wishlist Items.

Or if the item is in your inventory, click it and there should be an option to take it off your wishlist.

make sure you go to your wishlist through the personal tab, not your profile.

                       thank you very much for your help.
