Moviegoers can enjoy their favorite videos without interruptions by downloading them on their device, but this can take up phone storage. To free up space for new videos, you may need to delete old ones. There are two ways to delete videos from an iPad, which will be demonstrated in this guide.
Method 1. How to Delete Videos from iPad
You may need to delete iPad videos in three different situations. Firstly, if you want to free up storage space on your iPad, deleting videos can help. Secondly, if you've recorded a video that you no longer want to keep, deleting it can help declutter your device.
To delete videos recorded by yourself, you can:
Step 1. Open the Photos app, and go to the "Albums" tab.
Step 2. On your device, go to the "Videos" tab, and you'll see all the videos you've recorded with your device.
Step 3. To delete a video, click on the three dots next to the video title and select "Delete" from the dropdown menu.
Step 4. To delete a video, tap the trash icon in the lower-right corner and confirm your option by tapping "Delete Video".
To delete movies you brought or synced from your computer, you can uncheck them in the "Movies" section of the "Movies" tab, then click the "Remove" button. Alternatively, you can also delete them from your computer and then sync your computer again to remove the movies from your device.
Step 1. To remove a video from the Videos app, open the app, navigate to the video you want to delete, and tap the "Share" icon. From the share menu, select "Delete" to remove the video from your device.
Step 2. Swipe the video to the left and tap "Delete."
To delete all videos or movies at once via the Settings, go to the "Videos" or "Movies" tab, click on the "Delete all" or "Clear all" option, and be aware that this will permanently delete all files without the ability to undo. It's recommended to back up your videos or movies before deleting them to avoid losing important content.
Step 1. Open the Settings app, and tap "General."
Step 2. The following stepswill differ depending on your iOS version.
- On iOS 8, to delete a video, go to Settings > Usage > Manage Storage > Videos, select the video, swipe left, and tap Delete.
- To delete a video on iOS 9 and higher, go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Storage > Manage Storage > Videos, select the video you want to delete, swipe it to the left, then tap Delete.
