I recently had a problem where videos were taking up space on my Apple iPhone and I could not delete them. They would show up in iTunes under my “Movies” and “TV Shows” area. No option appeared to delete these videos. I had to find the option to allow me to remove them.
Delete Videos Showing in iTunes
- Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer and open iTunes.
- Select the icon for your device in the upper-left corner of the screen.
- In the “Settings” section, select “Summary” on the left pane.
- Check the “Manually manage music and videos” selection.
- You will now have an option to “Delete” when right-clicking on any item under “Movies” or “TV Shows” in the “On My Device” section.
Delete Videos Showing On Device
If you still have videos showing in the “Videos” app on your device and they aren’t showing in iTunes, you may have the option to “Show iTunes Purchases” enabled under “Settings” > “Videos“.
