Delete a video and what happens to the link

Delete is the way to take down a video you uploaded to your account. It is on the video page in your library, separate from Save. The site asks you to confirm. After it is deleted, that file is no longer in your list.

What people see afterward

The watch link and the embed address pointed at that file. When the file is gone, those addresses no longer have the video to play. Sending the old link does not restore it, and editing is no longer possible because the library row is gone. If you still need the picture online, upload the file again. That creates a new video and a new link.

Deleting is not the same as private access. Private keeps the file and turns sharing off. Delete removes the file. Use private when you might want the video again. Use delete when it should not stay on the site at all.

• Confirm the delete. It is not a hide button.
• The old watch link does not keep playing the file.
• The embed for that file stops having a video.
• Upload again if you need a new link for the same picture.

Before you delete

Download a copy first if the site allows downloads and you do not have the file on your computer anymore. Playbob is not a backup of your camera roll. Once the video is deleted, the stored file is what you removed, including its title, description, password, and view count.

Guest uploads are not in this library, so this button is not how you manage them. Upload from an account when you want a delete control you can find later, and keep your own copy of any file you may need again.
