How to Delete All TikTok Videos at Once (3 options)

Your TikTok profile keeps every video you've ever posted, newest first, for anyone willing to scroll. Each clip shows your face and voice, often with a room of your home behind you, and that's enough raw material for someone making a deepfake. TikTok will delete them for you, but only one video per tap, and nothing in the app clears a whole profile.
Start with the single video if that's all you need. If you'd rather keep a video but take it out of public view, the privacy setting does that. And if years of uploads have to go, Redact clears them in bulk, either every video or only the ones that match the filters you set.
Option #1 - Delete one video at a time in the TikTok app (manual & slow)
- Go to your profile and open the video you want gone.
- Tap More options, the three dots on the side of the video.
- Tap Delete.
Want a copy before it goes? On the same video, tap the Share button and then Save video to download it to your phone. If you'd like a copy of everything you post from now on, open More options on the Post screen before you publish and turn on Save to device.
On a computer, a video's own page has no delete option. Your posts are listed in TikTok Studio, where each row has a menu with a delete option and a confirmation after it. Photo posts are the exception, because TikTok only lets you delete those in the app. TikTok's help doesn't describe any way to select several posts and delete them together, on the web or on your phone.
Option #2 - Hide videos instead of deleting them (manual & slow)
Open the video from your profile, tap More options, then Privacy settings (swipe left along that row if you can't see it), and pick Only you. The view count stays as it is.
Hidden isn't deleted, though. The video and its comments stay on your account, anyone who gets into it can make them public again, and every video means another trip through that menu. To clear the hidden ones for good, Redact's private videos filter deletes only those.
Option #3 - Mass delete your videos with Redact (fast & automated)
Redact runs on your own Windows, macOS or Linux computer, not on a server somewhere. Once it's installed, you sign in with a one-time code sent to your inbox, log in to TikTok through the window the app opens for you, and choose Videos. Every other setting on the form narrows down which videos a run touches, so start from what you want to be left with.
| What you need to do | How to set the app filters |
|---|---|
| No videos left at all | No filter settings. Leave every filter empty and run the app. |
| One stretch of your history gone, such as 2021 to 2022 | Set the date filter to start on Jan 1st 2021 and end on Dec 31st 2022. |
| Low performing uploads removed, videos with good engagement metrics left alone | Set Maximum Views just under the view count you'd call a hit. |
| One old viral clip gone | Minimum Views above everything else you've posted, with a date range around it. |
| Pinned videos still at the top of your profile | Protect Pinned Videos setting switched to on. |
| Videos left up, but nobody can Duet, Stitch or reuse them | Action set to Revoke permissions, with Revoke reuse of content option box checked. |
| Only your public videos, or only your private ones | Privacy Settings with just one of Public videos or Private videos ticked. |
Protect Pinned Videos starts switched off. A run you haven't adjusted deletes the videos pinned to your profile along with the rest, so turn it on first if any of them should survive.
Revoke permissions doesn't delete anything. Tick Revoke reuse of content and Redact switches reuse off on every video the run matched, so nobody can Duet or Stitch them or make stickers out of them, while the videos stay exactly where they are. Leave Disable AI remixing unticked. TikTok removed its per-video AI remix switch weeks after adding it in April 2026, so there's nothing left for Redact to turn off, and those videos get marked as failed.

Run Preview Mode first. It lists every video your settings caught without touching TikTok, so you can fix a filter before anything's gone. Then switch to Deletion Mode. Redact skips photo posts, which TikTok only lets you delete in its app.
TikTok only accepts so many changes from one account in a short time, so Redact spaces out the deletions. Leave the app open until it's done.
The free plan covers videos posted in the last 30 days. Older ones need Premium, which also unlocks Schedule Deletion and Disappearing Mode to keep your profile clear. See Redact's TikTok scheduling page for how both work.
More TikTok cleanups
- Remove your liked videos on TikTok and empty the heart tab on your profile.

- Delete only your private TikTok videos when the hidden uploads are what you're after.
FAQ
Can I get a TikTok video back after deleting it?
For 30 days, yes. TikTok keeps deleted posts in Recently deleted, under Settings and privacy and Activity center, and tapping Restore puts a post back on your profile with its comments and likes. After 30 days it's permanently gone, so save a copy with Save video first if there's any chance you'll want it.
Does deleting a TikTok video remove its comments and likes too?
Yes. The comments and likes on a video belong to that post, so they disappear with it, and they return only if you restore the video within 30 days. Deleting your own videos doesn't touch the likes you've left on other people's videos, which is a separate cleanup covered in the liked videos guide.
Can I delete only my private TikTok videos, or only my public ones?
TikTok itself makes you go video by video. In Redact, the Privacy Settings filter on the Videos form decides which side a run covers. Tick Private videos alone and your public uploads are skipped, or tick Public videos alone and your hidden ones stay put.
Will Redact delete my pinned TikTok videos?
Only if you let it. Protect Pinned Videos is off by default, which means a run clears pinned videos like any other. Switch it on and anything pinned to your profile is left out, whatever the rest of your filters catch.
Can I delete all my TikTok videos from one year?
Yes. Set the date range to cover that year and the run only touches videos uploaded inside it. Run Preview Mode to check the list first. The free plan only reaches videos from the last 30 days, so clearing a past year needs Premium.
What does Redact's free plan cover for TikTok videos?
Downloading Redact is free, and so is deleting videos you posted in the last 30 days. Older videos, Schedule Deletion and Disappearing Mode need Premium, the plan that covers TikTok along with every other social service Redact supports.
