Deleting Videos from Amazon is a process of removing videos that you have stored or watched on Amazon’s platform. Just like how you might delete photos or files from your computer or phone to free up space, deleting videos from Amazon means taking them out of your collection or watch history.
This could be videos you have purchased, rented, or even those included with services like Amazon Prime Video. It is a way to tidy up your digital library, making room for new content and helping you manage what you have seen or want to keep.
Think of Amazon Prime as a club you join to enjoy some awesome perks. These perks are pretty cool, like getting your stuff delivered super fast, getting to shop sales before everyone else, watching movies for free, and trying out other neat services.
To become a member of Amazon Prime, you pay either $139 for a whole year or $14.99 each month. Once you are a Prime member, you get a bunch of fantastic advantages coming your way.
With Amazon Prime Video, it is not just about streaming, you can also download the videos you like and store them in your Amazon Library. This way, you can watch them later even when you are not connected to the internet.
This can be really helpful, especially when you are traveling or in a situation where the network signal is not strong.
However, there is a catch with this download feature, when you can not keep those downloaded videos. After you are done watching, you end up with these big files that occupy most of your device’s storage room.
This situation hinders you from downloading more videos or performing other actions on your device that requires storage.
This situation leaves you with only one option which is removing videos from your Amazon Library.
