Captures and project Videos have different removal dialogs. Check the name and preview first, and read the dialog for the exact content affected.

Important

Removing a capture is permanent. The Captures confirmation says the captured video and side-panel data are removed from the capture inbox.

  1. Open Captures and open the recording’s actions menu. Choose Remove.
  2. In Remove capture?, check the recording name. Choose Cancel to keep it, or Remove capture to confirm.
  3. Wait for the recording to disappear from the list. If an error appears, read it before trying again.
  1. Select the intended capture checkboxes and check the selected count.
  2. Choose Remove in the selection bar.
  3. Read Remove selected captures?, then choose Remove only when every selected recording can be discarded.

To remove a project source video, open its project and use Delete on the source, then read that separate confirmation. Removing an item in IPPO does not recall downloaded copies; handle those under your team’s retention process.
