Delete A Video
This guide walks you through how to permanently remove a video programmatically, and through the dashboard. Please be aware that you cannot retrieve a video you delete, so be sure it's what you want to do.
API documentation
Delete a video
To delete a video, you need to do the following:
Retrieve the video ID for the video you want to delete. You can do this by listing your videos and searching for the one you want, or you can look in your dashboard to find the video you want to delete.
Send a delete request to api.video containing the ID for the video you want to delete. Be sure you want to delete the video - there is no way to retrieve the content you delete.
Delete a video in the dashboard
You can delete a video using your dashboard by doing the following:
Open your dashboard.
From the menu on the left, choose Videos.
On the Video screen, use the filtering and scrolling features to locate the video you want to delete. Place a checkmark next to one or more videos you want to delete, and push Delete.
Deleting videos is a permanent action and there is no way to recover them. Keep this in mind when you confirm deleting the videos.
You can also select the breadcrumbs icon next to each video to open an actions panel where you can select Delete.
