The best way to watch a movie for moviegoers is to download it on the device. In that way, you can enjoy your favorite videos without buffering or interruptions. But as time goes by, the videos you download will eat up your phone storage. To free up more storage for new videos, you may need to remove old videos. In this guide, we will show you two different ways to delete videos from the iPad. 

Method 1. How to Delete Videos from iPad 

There are three situations where you may need to delete iPad videos. You can learn about each case and select the right way to remove videos from your iPad.

Step 3. Click "Select" from the upper-right corner and select the video you wish to delete.

To delete movies you brought or synced from your computer, you can:

Method 2. How to Delete Videos/Movies from iPad Quickly and Easily

The method listed above is more suitable for users who like storing their videos in one place. But if your photos are placed in different apps, the steps might be tedious to delete them in different apps. Therefore, we prepare a quick iPhone data transfer tool - EaseUS MobiMover to simplify the procedure.

To delete videos from the iPad:

Step 1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer running Windows or macOS, then run EaseUS MobiMover and go to "Content Management > Videos > Movies".

Step 2. If you want to delete all the movies on your iPhone or iPad, click "Select All". While if you intend to remove specific items, single-click the items you want to delete and then tick the "Delete" button.

Step 3. In the pop-up window asking you whether to delete these selected movies, click "Yes" to confirm your deletion.

The Bottom Line

You can easily remove videos and movies from your iPad in the two ways mentioned above. Compared with the two methods, the second way is more straightforward and quicker than the first one. But if you don't like third-party software, go for method one instead.
