This wikiHow teaches you how to delete movie content from your iTunes library on your computer, iPhone, or iPad. If you've already downloaded the movie (or got it outside of iTunes), you can also delete it from your device.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Via Computer
Step 1. Open iTunes on the computer
If you are using a Windows computer, the iTunes icon will usually appear on the desktop or in the “ All Apps ” on the “Start” menu. For Mac computers, look for the musical note icon in the Dock or Launchpad.
Step 2. Select Movies from the drop-down menu
This menu is in the upper-left corner of the iTunes window and usually displays the “Music” option automatically. The movie content library will be displayed after that.
Step 3. Find the movie you want to delete
You can filter the list using the links in the left column (eg. Recently Added ”, “ Home Movies ", or " Downloaded ”).
Step 4. Right-click the movie
The context menu will be displayed after that.
Step 5. Click Delete from Library
This option is at the bottom of the menu. A confirmation message will be displayed after that.
- If the content in question is downloaded from iTunes, click “ Remove download ” to delete the movie from the computer.
- If the movie is a “home movie” or a home movie (movies that were added to iTunes, but not purchased from the iTunes Store), select “ Delete Videos ” to remove it from iTunes. In addition, the movie will also be deleted from devices connected to the same Apple account.
Step 6. Click Hide Movie
Now, the movie has been successfully removed from iTunes library.
