Reading this table

"Short %" is the FCA's aggregate net short position (ANSP): the sum of every individual net short position of at least 0.2% of the company's issued share capital, published two working days after the position date shown. A company appears here only while its aggregate is disclosable. Dropping out means the aggregate fell below the publication floor, not that shorting stopped entirely. See methodology for exactly what this number does and does not capture.
