About
Keeping your media library organized and up-to-date is important. Over time, you may find that certain videos or media entries need to be updated or removed to maintain a high-quality learning experience.
This guide will show you how to easily delete outdated or unnecessary media entries from your My Media or Media Gallery within your LMS. And if you ever need to retrieve a deleted item, you can restore it from the Recycle bin (if this feature enabled). Check out our article Restore items from the Recycle bin to learn more.
When trying to delete published media, if the trash icon is greyed out, it means your administrator hasn't enabled this option.
The instructions below are for non-Theming users. If you have Theming enabled, please refer to our article Delete media - Theming.

- Click the trash icon to the right of the desired media.
