If you mean this App:


Then it actually does not hold any videos or photos. It just takes them. All photos and videos are stored in the Photos App:


Now depending on how the Videos got there, they or may not be deletable. Only photos and videos created directly on the iPhone are deletable there. If the Videos were synced from a computer to the iPhone at any point, then they are not directly deletable there. They need to be deleted by syncing again with iTunes on a computer and deselecting the synced videos from the sync options in iTunes or syncing an empty folder, making sure "Include videos" is checked.
