I am using LinkedIn API.
I have done all process to retrieve access token.
but never show anywhere to remove/revoke access token from the LinkedIn.
Please Help.!
Once you store the secret in your DB simply delete it and the access will be revoked.
I believe that if you wish for the user to revoke access to your app the user must to go linkedin and do it, much like Facebook.
As confirmed here: http://developer.linkedin.com/forum/how-really-revoke-apps-oauth-access-token linkedin does not have a programmable API for what you wanna do.
But before you remove it from DB you can invalidate the token which is like an extra step to take by cURLing https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/invalidateToken with your token I believe.
Edit
As @Paul corrects, it is actually quite important to invalidate the tokens with LinkedIn. So doing that and then removing from DB is, as he says, the correct way.
