In this post, we will show you how to delete a TikTok video from your page and also how to delete the video you’re currently recording, the one you’ve already posted, and the one you’ve saved as a draft.

If you use TikTok and like to share videos with your friends, there might be occasions when one of those videos doesn’t really slap as well as you had hoped.

Or perhaps you recorded a video and saved it as a draft before deciding to delete it rather than finish or edit it.

No matter where that video is on TikTok, you can delete it with just a few clicks!

How to Delete a TikTok Video You Have Just Recorded

After you record a video on TikTok, you must complete a few additional steps before sharing it.

These steps enable you to include media such as sound, effects, or text, as well as hashtags, mentions, and a description.

Because of these steps, you have the option of exiting the video and starting over, or not capturing one at all.

Just After Recording

• Tap the checkmark on the bottom right.

• Instead of tapping on Next, tap the backward arrow on the top left to go back.
• Then you tap the X, on the top left.
• You’ll be asked if you’ll want to Start Over or Discard what you’ve recorded.

When Editing

If you recorded a quick video, it is understandable if you run out of time to hit the checkmark above. Don’t worry, you just have to follow these steps:

• Once you see your video preview on the editing screen, just tap the arrow on the top left corner to go back.
• After you have done that, tap on the X.
• Now you can choose between starting over and deleting your video.
