If you’re looking to clean up your Twitch channel and remove some old content, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s walk through exactly how to delete those videos, whether they’re highlights, past broadcasts, or clips.
Deleting Past Broadcasts and Highlights
First, head over to your Twitch Creator Dashboard – that’s your command center for all things content management. Once you’re logged in, look for the “Content” tab in the left sidebar. Under that, you’ll find “Video Producer,” which is where all your saved streams live.
Here’s the step-by-step process:
1. Click on the video you want to remove
2. Look for the three dots (⋮) menu icon
3. Select “Delete”
4. Confirm your choice
Remember, once you delete a video, it’s gone forever – there’s no getting it back. So maybe take a quick moment to make sure you really want to say goodbye to that content.
Managing Clips
Clips work a bit differently from regular videos. To delete these shorter snippets:
1. Navigate to your Creator Dashboard
2. Select “Content” > “Clips”
3. Find the clip you want to remove
4. Click the trash can icon
5. Confirm deletion
Bulk Deletion Tips
Got tons of videos to clear out? Here’s a time-saving tip: Twitch lets you select multiple videos at once in the Video Producer. Just check the boxes next to each video you want to remove, then hit the delete button once to clear them all. It’s much faster than doing them one by one.
Important Considerations
Before you go on a deletion spree, keep these things in mind:
– VODs (Video on Demand) automatically delete after 14 days for regular users, or 60 days for Twitch Partners and Turbo users
– Highlights don’t expire unless you manually delete them
– Once you delete a video, any links or embeds pointing to it will stop working
Archiving Alternative
Not sure if you want to permanently delete something? Consider downloading important videos first. You can export them to YouTube or save them to your computer. This gives you a backup in case you change your mind later.
Remember, maintaining a clean, organized channel can help viewers find your best content more easily. Just be strategic about what you keep and what you remove. Think about which videos still bring value to your channel and which ones might be past their prime.
