Deleted videos and the trash

On Studio, a video deleted in a project waits 7 days in Deleted videos. Only the owner can restore it.

Updated November 9, 2026

Where deleted videos go

On Studio, a video deleted inside a project doesn’t disappear at once. It moves to Deleted videos of that project and stays there for 7 days, then it’s gone for good. This way a video an editor deleted by mistake can still be brought back.

  • Editors can delete only the videos they made. The owner can delete any video in the project.
  • Viewers can’t delete videos.
  • A video that is preparing or rendering can’t be deleted. Wait until it finishes.
  • A deleted video is taken off the Publishing calendar if it hadn’t been published yet.

Videos outside projects, and videos on Starter and Creator, are deleted right away, as described in Download and publish.

Restore a video

  1. Open the project.
  2. Press Deleted videos next to the search. The number shows how many are there.
  3. Press Restore next to the video.

The video returns to the project with its storyboard, as it was. Each line shows who deleted it and how many days are left.

Only the owner can restore. Editors and viewers see the same list with Ask … to restore instead of the button.

All videos takes you back to the project.

Note. Deleting a video doesn’t return the credits already spent on it, and restoring it doesn’t charge anything.
