How do I delete hidden podcast files?

I have some video podcast episodes which -- according to the "Device" tab on iTunes -- are still on my iPod Touch taking up space but which are not visible. So no, I can't "swipe-right-then-press-delete", iTunes doesn't let me delete the files directly from the iPod, and turning off syncing the podcast simply made ALL the files invisible to the iPod user interface.
It's an iPod Touch 4 with iOS 5.1.1, and I'm using iTunes 10 on a Mac.

I am having the exact same problem!
I made a Smart Playlist for my podcasts so I could "see" them all at once, in one master list. And after listening through them, I gave the ones I didn't want to keep a "1-Star" rating. Then, I went into the podcast master directory and deleted those podcasts. But they're all still in my Smart Playlist. And they actually play, so they're not "phantom" files...
This is really frustrating. Any ideas?

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

  • How do I delete hidden photo files?

    When I'm on the road I use my iPad as a depository for my camera photos. I remove the chip from my camera insert it into the iPad card reader and upload them. Some are .jpg and some are .orf files (the RAW format for Olympus pictures).  My Usage meter for photos now reads 30.5GB used for photos but I only have a handful showing. I know the .orf files are there but not seen as when I download to Lightroom they are imported but I can't see them on the iPad to delete them from the iPad. I can delete their .jpg brothers but I can't see or delete the .orf hidden raw files.  Regardless of the number of seen .jpg files I delete, I can't move the 30.5gb usage number.  My usage says 30.5gb so I continually get no more room error messages but can't find a way to clear out my photo folder.  I don't sync photos with my desktop.  I would be willing to erase all photos but don't know how. Even if I could select every photo through "Selection" it doesn't get at the hidden files. Any ideas?

    Do my computer need to take up 220GB of my hard drive to work? I have tons of external hard disks, but I need to be able to have my basic documents on my Mac.

  • How do I delete hidden podcasts?

    My 5th gen iPod lists podcasts that don't appear when it is connected to iTunes. How can I delete them when they don't show in iTunes?

    My final idea is to locate the media folder.
    look in preferences - advanced to find out where it is
    go to the the podcast foldert
    and make any changes you want to
    I would do a full back up of your ipod first.
    Failing that restore your ipod.
    Hope this helps as i am out of ideas.

  • HELP! How can I delete hidden video files?

    If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated:
    I have a 64GB iPad (non-jailbroken) and used a video App called gplayer to move several large video lectures (about 30GB) via wifi FTP to my iPad so that I could play the files using gplayer directly off the iPad (which worked VERY well)....
    ...until gplayer had an update, and now for some reason I guess their filestructure changed, so my previous videos are no longer seen
    (yet I now still physically on the iPad taking up 30GB space!)
    Now, I need to find those files and DELETE them so I can free up the space...unfortunately I cannot find them using Windows File Explorer (I checked all 100 folders in the DCIM folders...which only had my photos).
    I tried to email gplayer support, but they haven't given me a reply yet.
    I already tried to UNINSTALL the gplayer App, and reinstall it, but It did not fix the problem.
    Does anyone know a way to view the full iPad file structure, and find the "hidden" files so I can delete them off my iPad?
    I know the files are there, as under my Settings/General/About icon,
    the "Videos" section shows that there are "60" files.
    (I don't have any Videos in the Videos App that show up, or have ever used iTunes to upload videos!!)
    Thanks for any help!!!

    thats a good thought.  I will try to sync the iPad physically to the computer (i haven't done this in a while, since everything has been wirelessly done)
    ... but i have hundreds of apps, which will take a long time.  Wanted to see if there were other methods before going down this route.  I guess I'll have to check the "sync my apps" box in iTunes and try it out ... ?

  • HT2729 How do you delete a Podcast from your Mac?

    How do you delete a Podcast from your MacBook Air?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    To delete an entire podcast you have subscribed to - with all its episodes - select it and hit delete. You will be asked whether you want to move it to the trash or leave it in the Library - if you choose the latter option it wil disappear from iTunes but the files will still be taking up space in the Library.
    If you have mistakenly chosen the keep option, go to (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts and delete the files. Do not do this if you have not removed it from the iTunes application - delete it there to avoid messing up the indexing.

  • How can I delete an old file from my library on iTunes

    Occasionally I have to replace PDF manuals with ones that have been updated.  But after I sync the new file the old one remains on my Mac itunes library.  How can I delete the old file?  So far all I do is deselect the old file but it's still there.  Sooner or later there will be more old files then current ones making it hard to manage.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can do this with or without the iPad connected to your Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac. Click on Books under the Library heading. Click on the PDFs. Then click on the PDF that you want to delete in order to select it, and go to Edit>Delete and follow the on screen prompts.
    if you are using iTunes 11 and do not have the sidebar enabled, and wish to do so, go to View>Show sidebar or use the keyboard shortcut OPTION+Command+S.
    If you do not want to enable the sidebar, the library items can be accessed in the button in the upper left corner of the iTunes window.

  • How do I delete my uploaded files? I am on an Ipad.

    How do i delete my uploaded files? There is no trash button

    you must run the official iOS5 version, no developer version which likely is a beta . Use itunes 10.5 , connect your device, let it make the backups and then hit the "restore" button in itunes. This will download and install the one and only supported OS for your device.
    Once you have this on it, you can install all apps, including garageband.
