How To Easily & Quickly Delete A TikTok Video After Posting

As fun and potentially lucrative as making a TikTok video can be, sometimes users may want to delete a video, which fortunately is a quick process. TikTok has become an immensely popular platform for online creators, allowing them to create multi-clip videos, complete with funny audio or a creative filter to take the video to another level. The social media app can also offer TikTokers a shot at fame, with creators like Addison Rae and Charli D’Amelio able to launch huge careers on the platform.

TikTok recently introduced the option to create videos that are up to three minutes long. TikTok also started testing a feature called Shoutouts earlier this month, which allows users to pay creators for customized content, similar to the Cameo app. The Jumps feature was introduced back in June, offering creators the opportunity to link viewers to related content, which could be a great tool for the Q&A feature. Now there’s even the option to join another user’s livestream by sending the original creator a request.

A user might want to delete a TikTok for a number of reasons, including simply changing direction in terms of content creation, and fortunately, TikTok makes it easy to delete a video. To start, open up the TikTok to be deleted and then tap the three-dot button below the comment button. At the bottom of the screen, scroll left through the available buttons and tap on the ‘Delete’ button. Hit ‘Delete’ once again when the prompt window pops up to fully delete the TikTok video.

Tips To Avoid TikToks Having To Be Deleted

Another reason users may delete a TikTok is down to poor performance of the video. However, there are tips and tricks that can help to create fun and entertaining content that won’t need to be deleted at a later time. To increase views, TikTok suggests collaborating with another in a Duet, as well as making sure to post videos on a regular basis. It’s also important to engage with viewers, whether by replying to comments or starting a livestream. TikTok says creators should have a plan in place before going Live, including making sure to find good lighting and a quiet place to broadcast.

TikTok also has “six key secrets” for successful videos, such as using analytics to track video performance and monitor viewership. Both of which can help to determine what and when to post. Of course, the most important thing is that creators enjoy the content they’re putting out into the world. When the TikTok creator is having a great time, it typically shows in their videos, and makes the content all the more engaging.
