Can I delete movies and tv shows from my library on Apple TV app?

• For not listing select previous purchases anymore: See: Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books - Apple Support. For movie and TV show purchases, you need to do this on a Mac or PC. This type of library managing is not supported on mobile.
• For removing (just) the downloads of some of these library movies that take up space on your iPhone, see Eric_G1’s answer.

Hello grbrown954,

This page will help out with providing the steps needed for deleting movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app: Delete movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app - Apple Support

Delete movies and TV shows on your iPhone or iPad

1. Open the Apple TV app.

2. Tap Library, then tap Downloaded. If you don't see Downloaded, you might not have any items stored on your device.

3. Swipe left on the item that you want to delete, then tap Delete.

4. Confirm when prompted.

5.

Cheers.

If you want to remove downloaded files, then see Eric_G1’s answer.

If you want to ‘remove’ a purchased title, then you can hide it. For movies and TV shows, you can (must) do that using a computer (Mac or PC). Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books - Apple Support.

I want to delete a purchsed movie from my Apple Tv App. This seems impossible. I want to do it either from my Apple Tv app on my Apple Tv 4k or from my iPhone. Swiping left, right or centre doesn’t do anything. Moving a curser - really on the app on my phone or on my apple tv - where do I activate this magic curser using my iphone or the appleTv remote

I have the new iMac book pro operating on 17.0.3 with the new iMovie app. I cannot remove anything from the library. I wish to clear everything out. It’s all clogged up and jammed and it’s interrupting with my ation of my media.

iMovie is an editor, and should not be used as a movie library organizer.

Instead, use the TV app on Mac. Find its Library options in the sidebar on the left.

iMac is very different from a MacBook Pro. Neither has OS 17.0.3. The latest version macOS is 14.1.1.

Mobile devices could be on system software version 17.x, not the computers.

For once Apple, tell us EXACTLY how to do something. Make it work, too.
