Delete videos on your phone via your PC

Equally, you may have a phone which is FULL of videos. Mobile storage is far from infinite, so you'll eventually find yourself wanting to review your videos and hoping to delete the ones that you don't need or want.

If you're unsure if you want to delete a video or not, consider saving them to your computer before deleting them from your phone. This way, you'll still have access to the videos, even though you've deleted them from your phone.

To delete videos, select them in Droid Transfer and click "Delete Selection". You'll be prompted that deleted videos cannot be recovered. To confirm and delete the selected videos, hit "Delete".
