Delete footage

Delete one file or many from Media, or a video together with its footage. Deleting frees space in your plan.

Written by Ben (Founder) · Updated November 5, 2026

Delete one file

  1. Open Media.
  2. On a computer, point at the file and press the bin, top left of it. On a phone, press … on the file.
  3. The window says « It leaves Media for everyone in the workspace. A video that uses it loses it. »
  4. Press Delete.

Delete many at once

  1. In Media, press Select.
  2. Tap the files to select them, or press Select all to take every file shown.
  3. Press Delete and the number, then confirm in the window.

To find what to delete, use the tabs (All, Videos, Sounds, Pictures, Others) and Search your media.

Delete a video and its footage

When you delete a video from your videos, its window asks whether to Delete its footage too. Ticked, it says which files leave Media and which stay because another video uses them.

What deleting does

  • The file leaves Media for everyone in the workspace.
  • Everything Montage keeps of it is deleted: your original if it was added on the web, and every file made from it.
  • A video that used it loses it.
  • Its size is given back to your footage space.

There is no bin to bring a file back. To use it again, add it again.

Questions

Does deleting a file in Media delete it from my computer?

No. Montage deletes what it keeps in your account. A file on your computer stays where it is.

Can anyone in my workspace delete my footage?

Yes. Media belongs to the whole workspace: anyone in it can delete a file, and it goes for everyone.

Taking a file off a new video, is that deleting it?

No. The × on a file’s row in New video only takes it off this video; it stays in Media.
