# Delete a video

> Choose Delete from the video's ⋯ menu or its name menu. The video moves to the Trash for 30 days before it's permanently deleted; only the creator can delete a video.

To delete a video, choose **Delete** from its **⋯** menu in your library or from its name menu on the video page. Deleting moves it to the **Trash**, where it stays for 30 days before Tella removes it for good, so a delete you regret can be undone.

## Delete a video from your library

1. Go to **My videos** or **Workspace videos**.

2. Open the video's **⋯** (More actions) menu:

   * In **Grid** view, hover over the video and click **⋯** on the thumbnail.

   * In **List** view, click **⋯** at the right end of the video's row.

3. Choose **Delete**.

4. Confirm with **Yes, delete**.

<Note>
  On a phone, Grid view has no hover controls, so the **⋯** button doesn't appear on thumbnails. Switch to **List** view with the view toggle at the top of the page, or open the video and delete it from its name menu (below).
</Note>

## Delete a video from its view page or the editor

1. Open the video, either on its view page or in the editor.

2. Click the video's name in the top bar to open its menu.

3. Choose **Delete**, then confirm with **Yes, delete**.

<Note>
  Only the video's creator can delete it. If you were given **Editor** access to someone else's video, the menu shows **Leave** instead: that removes your access, and the video stays in the creator's library.
</Note>

## Delete several videos at once

Select the videos you want to remove, then click **Delete videos** in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. See [bulk select videos](/docs/help/account/bulk-select-videos) for the ways to build a selection, including selecting every video that matches a filter.

## Delete a video permanently

Videos in the Trash are deleted for good after 30 days. To remove one sooner:

1. Open **Trash** below your playlists in the sidebar.

2. Remove the video:

   * In **Grid** view, hover over the video and click **Delete now** on the thumbnail.

   * In **List** view, click **Delete** at the right end of the video's row.

3. Confirm the permanent deletion.

The Trash uses whichever view you last chose in your library; it has no view toggle of its own. To empty several at once, select them in the Trash and click **Delete now** in the bottom toolbar. Permanent deletion can't be undone.
