Permanently deleting videos on ios 8.2

Just did a big clean-up but but I still see 161 videos in Settings/General/Information/Videos. There is no "Recently deleted" folder anymore so where are they? How can I delete them?

I had the same problem with Iphone 5 iOS 8, none of the methods described above were successful.
Finally, iPhone Data Eraser helped to solve my problem.

How do I permanently delete video files?

How do I permanently delete video files?

Perhaps you do not have permissions to move the file. Do a get info on a file you cannot delete. Open the details triangle. Report back.
This seems rather odd. Is the file on an internal or exernal disk?
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
You should run disk utility to verify the disk and to update your permissions.
You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.

Samsung Fascinate-permanently deleting videos

Is there any way to permanently delete videos? I've deleted some, but they are still showing in the video player as recovered in "Restore Video Links". How can I get rid of them for good? I'd like to transfer the phone to another person and don't want my old pictures/videos to them. Thanks for your help!

Hi mustangmels,
I can relate to your concerns as I frequently give my previous phones to my children and definitely don't want any media (videos, pictures, etc.) to stay with the phone. The best thing to do when you give/transfer a phone to someone else is to do a factory reset. Please click on the link below for instructions.

How do I permanently delete videos from iPad 2?

I delete videos bought on iPad and those transferred from Mac but when I connect the iPad to the Mac many re-appear on iPad. They are gray in list but they take up memory. IOS 5 on iPad, not iTunes.

Thanks for the reply. However, I do not want to delete a photo. I want to delete a video -- TV show, to be exact. They are not in my iTunes library. When I connect the iPad to my Mac, they show up in gray, not black in the list of items on my device, but seem to take up memory. I am not sure if they are actually "there". However, there are limits to the memory on my iPad until I delete them. How do I make sure they do not return?

How to properly delete videos from iphone 6 (iOS 8)?

Hi,
I'm using iPhone 6, 128 GB, iOS 8.1.2.
I have recently made one observation concerning recording videos on my iphone.
When I record videos, and then subsequently delete them, I can't find them in the photos app. However I notice my hard disk space is still reduced. I have to purchase this software called iMazing, and realized that I have tons of previously "deleted" videos, showing up in one of the DCIM\10x_APPLE folders. Only after deleting the videos from there did my hard disk space return back to normal.
Anyone else has this problem, with videos not actually getting deleted and taking up hard disk space in the phone? Is there a way to prevent this from happening, or are there any mitigating actions (apart from using iMazing)?
Please advise, thanks in advance.

They put in a trash can for photo and video.
you can find your deleted video in recently deleted under album.
delete from there to ensure permanent delete, otherwise it'll stay for 30 days.
I hate when this happens. Deleted many apps to release space, ah!

Ios 8.3 recovered my "permanently" deleted photos

I just updated to ios 8.3 and my camera roll is full of old photos which I had permanently deleted. In addition, the "recently deleted" folder was full of photos (with the timer set to delete permanently in 30 days) but which I had previously already "permanently" deleted, or so I thought. I don't use the icloud photo library, and they aren't in any photostreams. They should have been permanently deleted. This is a privacy concern. Where were these photos being stored? If I delete them again now, will they still be stored somewhere?

There was a bug in several versions prior to 8.3 that resulted in deleted photos only being removed from the list, but not removed from the phone's memory. This was fixed, so now those photos show up so you can really delete them.

How do I permanently delete parts of my original video footage that I don't use for editing purposes? i.e. to save space on my hard drive.

Hi - I cant' seem to find how to permanently delete the video footage that is rubbish - can anyone help?

Hi ATR
Here is the answer of Mediainfo:
In Quicktime, what I did after trimming, was just click on "save" and not change any settings. If I click "export" instead of "save", I get the following options:
1080p...
720p...
480p...
iPad, iPhone iPad touch & Apple TV...
Audio only...
iTunes.....
Yes, If I go to Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime, I see QuickTime presets listed there, I was using these successfully all the time with my Sony camera files.
And, when I drag these .mov to the project's Timeline, there is no orange line over it. (If I add the clip out if the Sony camera, there is).
Please find here one of the trimmed files that are causing the problem:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ah4x3iagvntub8t/Canon_Trimmed.mov?dl=0
One more thing I have to mention- if I take the whole AVCHD file from the SD card directly to the project (without using QuickTime at all), it gives me the message, "This file type is not supported or requires a not installed codec" (sorry I'm translating from German).
If I import the AVCHD file with the software that came with the camera (Data Import Utility), it creates a folder with all the separate mts files. If I import one of those with "add media", it tells me something like "While importing there has occured a general error".
Thank you so much for your help!

IOS Mail permanently deletes messages

I've noticed several times that the iOS mail client occasionally does an unprompted permanent-delete of messages in my trash can. There's a similar complaint about it from 2008 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1362228?start=15&tstart=0).
I've got the following setup:
iOS 6.1.2
Gmail account via Exchange
Here are the steps that occurred:
Opened Mail to view new messages in inbox
Deleted several messages (sent them to trash)
Inadvertently deleted a message I wanted to keep
Went to trash folder, which started a download of the most recent contents of my trash folder
Saw the messages I just deleted
The download of my trash folder completes, causing the messages I just deleted to get permanently deleted
I can't see the messages I deleted anywhere, not in the Gmail app, nor in the Gmail web client.
I've never seen this behavior in any other client except for iOS Mail. I'm not sure if it's issue with the app, the way it handles the Exchange protocol, or the way Gmail talks to the Exchange protocol. Any ideas? This seems like really bad bug.

I have no idea what or why this happened!
All of a sudden, I'm able to delete read mail and have it appear in the trash (as it should) and am able to read it there, and remain there, until I want to permanently delete it!!!
I'm convinced this had to be an Apple problem but really haven't seen anything confirming this.
Note:
Even though I was unable to see the mail in the trash it was still on my comp. I just had to hunt for it...Library/Mail/Deleted Messages, so all wasn't lost.
Thanks for all you people do to help us frustrated but happy MAC'ers. I wouldn't trade
my MAC for anything.

IOS 8: I want to permanently delete apps such as stocks, tips, compass, passbook

iOS 8: I want to permanently delete apps such as stocks, tips, compass, passbook and Game Center from my phone. I really wish Apple would make these apps optional. Truth is I don't use them and they are just using up space on my phone. Any suggestiond anyone?

You cannot delete them. They are part of the iOS.
Cheers

How to "trim original" video in iOS?

When iOS first came out I remember there being an option to "trim original" video where the entire video would be replaced with only the part that you wanted to keep (the trimmed parts of the video would be deleted permanently). You also had the option to "save as new clip" which would keep both the original video and a new file with the trimmed parts removed.
Where has the "trim original" feature gone? It does not show up in the latest version of iOS 8 but it is still referenced in the iPhone User Guide for iOS (see attached picture).
The picture below shows the options I get when attempting to trim a video in iOS 8. You can see that the only option I get is to save as a new clip.

I think I just figured out the answer... If iCloud Photo Library is turned on, I only get the option to save as a new clip. Thus, trimming video creates two files that take up cloud storage (for which Apple charges if you want more than 5 GB). If I disable iCloud Photo Library, the option to trim original returns. If this is intentional on Apple's part, it is very clever of them to try to get people to fill up their iCloud storage faster. Of course you just go back and delete the original if you don't want it, but this extra step seems unnecessary when Apple operating systems are supposed to be "intuitive" and "just work."
Apple, please add the "trim original" feature for those who have enabled iCloud Photo Library. There is no reason this should be any different with iCloud Photo Library enabled other than to try to trick people into filling up their iCloud storage (and subsequently paying for more) faster.

Deleted video shows up in the iMovie import window

Hello,
I recorded a video with my iphone 5 which I have since deleted. Every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac and open iMovie import window, the deleted video shows up. How can I permanently delete the video so, that it will be no longer visible in the iMovie iMoore window nor any other place?
Thanks in advance

I have noticed the exact same issue. I have an iPhone 5s running iOS 8 (latest update). There are about 8 videos I've made and subsequently deleted over the last nine months. They do not appear in Photos. They are not offered as downloadable when connected to the iMac with iPhoto running. However, if I connect the phone to the iMac with the iMovie application open (on the iMac, running Yosemite), then iMovie offers to import all of these supposedly deleted videos! I just want to reclaim whatever space is being taken up by these.
I have tried resetting the iPhone to factory settings, but when it syncs with iTunes and restores from backup, the videos return. How do I delete these videos?! Anyone?

How do I permanently delete music from iTunes library and iPhone?

I had some old music I didn't like anymore so I went to delete it but it still shows up in my iTunes library and my phone. I plug in my phone to my laptop and in iTunes, all of the apparently deleted songs are gray text instead of black and they all have a gray, dotted circle next to it and this is really bothering me because all I see is clutter. Same goes for my phone. When "Show All Music" is turned off, I don't see any of the deleted songs which is what I want but when it's turned on, they come back with the iCloud symbol next to it and I don't like that at all. I want ALL of my songs to be PERMANENTLY DELETED meaning that if "Show All Music" is turned on or off, I don't want to see the music in my phone or in my iTunes library.

Hi Jessica,
I found an article how you could do that on iTunes: iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support and another blog post on this issue: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/delete-phantom-icloud-songs-your-iphone-015457 5/
Give it a try.
With kind regards,

Unable to delete videos from my iad

I am unable to delete videos from my ipad. When I go to Settings - Usage - Storage; the video section will show up as no data in it even if it has multiple videos downloaded from itunes in it. I am using iOS 7.0.4 on a new iPad mini Retina 64GB. I am seeing the same problem on my iPhone 5S.

I was puzzled by this since ios7 I waited for 7.1 and thought it was fixed as it seems to go away. Now its back in 8.0 and 8.0.2.
It seems somewhat related to incomplete accounting of downloaded video and music too on the device and applying to storage left on device as these two icons are not showing up under usage in settings, even with show all selected.
Here is what I did:
Go to "Videos" under settings, turn off "show all videos", this will show only videos that presumably are on your device.
Go to Videos" app and you should see video that is presumably downloaded to device, select the cloud icon and as unintuitive as it seems, download the video as if it is not already on the device.
When one or all of your videos finish, go to "Settings", "General", "Usage", you will see an increase in available storage.
While there, select "Manage Storage" and "Videos" should show up in usage and an amount of MB or GB.
Select "Videos" under storage and your videos will present. Select "Edit" in upper right corner.
Select red "minus symbol", delete.
As you do this you will see more and more of your devices storage coming back in available storage.
This is similar to or is a memory leak issue that needs to be addressed. It apparently hasn't yet.
The same process works with Music. I haven't seen this as an issue in dealing with apps.

Is there any software that will delete video after I crop in iMovie

Ok, I've spent days reading posts and googling for answers. I'm ready to spend $$ if I need to. We're all aware of how iMovie won't let us delete unwanted video. I'm trying to fix a wedding video some hack did in SVHS. I got it from DVD to Video_TS to DV using MPEG Streamline and imported the video clips to iMovie. (By "video clips", I am mean the DV files.)
There are 7 DV files from a 69-minute video. I am creating tons of smaller "clips" from these DV files - like 5 to 15-second clips - because I want to use transitions in between them.
My understanding of what's happening in iMovie as I do this is as follows:
- Let's say I begin with the first DV file that is 1.9 GB, about 10 minutes long.
- I create a 10-second clip from that by (a) selecting my start and end points, (b) clicking Edit>copy, (c) clicking on the clip pane, (d) clicking Edit>paste.
- Now I have a new 10-second clip.
- But! I also have 1.9 GB of unused video behind that clip, right?
- I repeat the process maybe 30 or 40 more times until I've edited the original 10-minute DV file (clip) and what do I have?
- Do I have 40 10-second clips each with 1.9 GB of unwanted video behind it??
As I said, with 7 DV files at 1.9 GB each that need to be sliced into multiple clips for transition effects, etc, this will shut down my MB quick. I've only done this with 3 DV files so far and I have 12 GB of HD space left. I will obviously not be able to finish the project this way. What a disaster!
So here's the million dollar question -- Is there ANY 3rd party software that will allow me to slice these DV files into small clips and permanently delete the unused video?
I don't care if I use something that "replaces" iMovie or something that works with iMovie. Like I said, I'm ready to spend the money to save the time, disk space, and aggravation. Note I worked in video production (many) years ago so I'm not afraid of something "technical" (editing concepts aren't new to me). However, I'm far from being an expert on what's out there these days.
I should also note that the original wedding video (DVD) did not have any chapters or anything of the sort. The ONLY way I can edit this is to import the entire file as it was converted to DV. It's not like I can import only the video I want to use. I hope that makes sense. I do not have access to the source video either - only this pathetic DVD he calls a wedding video.
Thanks in advance so much for any help. I never would've gotten this far without all the posts!

Not to worry. When we Copy and Paste within a project, iMovie HD creates a new clip thumbnail for the Timeline/Clips pane, then simply adds a new pointer to the source video. The source material is not duplicated.
When you Copy a clip and Paste a clip to a DIFFERENT project then Yes, the clip's entire source video file is duplicated. (When Copying between projects, be sure to Copy and Paste all the clips together so iMovie duplicates the source files just one time.)
Next time, you might consider setting your iMovie 6 preferences to limit the length of imported clips to 3 minutes — or whatever duration you want. Then each imported clip will have its own source file. When you discard an entire clip its file will be discarded too, shrinking the size of the project.
If you have no need to preserve the clips as clips you could export the project to a Full Quality movie that you import to a new project. Everything will arrive as a single clip, which may be okay here. Then discard your old project. The project will be smaller, containing just the stuff on the Timeline.
If the Timeline contains most of the source material — just split into small clips — there may not be a lot of "extra" material in the project. To get an estimate of how large the Timeline really is, open the "Timeline Movie.mov" that's inside the Cache folder of the project in QuickTime Player. QT Player's Show Movie Info window will show the size of the material it represents.
