Cannot delete video that is too large to send via text

I added a video to a text, tried to send it and somehow managed to have the "edit video" disappear before I could edit it. Now it won't send the video (says I have to have iMessage enable to send this message). iMessage is enabled, but it won't send and there's no way to remove it from the text. The only way I can send a text is to send a picture with text below it. Then I'm left with my too long video in the thread. I have turned my phone off, but it didn't change anything. I have an iPhone 12 with the latest update.

iPhone 12, iOS 17

It’s so easy it’s odd. Hold your finger to the right of the picture/video and a line will show up. Once that happens you can press the back (x) button on the keyboard and it will be gone. I hope it works for you like it did for me.
