Delete a video
To delete a video, you need to do the following:

Retrieve the video ID for the video you want to delete. You can do this by listing your videos and searching for the one you want, or you can look in your dashboard to find the video you want to delete.
-
Send a delete request to api.video containing the ID for the video you want to delete. Be sure you want to delete the video - there is no way to retrieve the content you delete.
