Instructions here > How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

1. Go to the Videos App.

2. Tap the TV Shows tab.

3. Tap the Edit button in the upper right corner.

4. Tap the X on the TV show icons to delete the shows.

Delete TV Shows

Settings>Usage>Videos and swipe from right to left across the episode in the list to get the red delete button or tap the edit button and tap the red circle next the TV show.

Reset iPad and try again.

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Note: Data will not be affected.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. Ipad 2. No edit button on the TV shows screen and select not available on Videos under usage. Frustrating!

I was having this problem, and then realized it was a different problem.

If there is a CLOUD image next to the video you are trying to delete, it means you do NOT have it on our ipad, and therefore can not delete it.  Click the cloud to DOWNLOAD it.  Then, the delete button will show if you swipe.

I still can not delete an entire series though.

My god Apple, how hard can this be. I am trying to delete from my paid tv shows I purchased from my iPad and have watched them now I DONT want them. How do I delete them n never  see them again. I actually have followed most of the answers below n nothing seems to work. Why do u make it so hard ????

If the shows that you are seeing in the videos app are the shows that are in iCloud and they do have the cloud icon next to them, it is very easy to remove them from the videos app.

Go to settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Videos>Off.

Thank you very much Demo.just one more silly question from down under about this.

Does that mean they really have been deleted and now I have some more free space on my iPad to purchase tv/ movies

Those movies that appear in iCloud should not be taking up any storage capacity on your iPad whatsoever. Those videos in the cloud simply appear in the videos app in order to make it easier for you to download them again or to stream and download them again if you choose to do so.

So to answer the question is that they are no longer taking up space on the iPad - but they never really were anyway.

I have been following this thread this afternoon as I have had the same problem on my iphone... I have now followed the last suggestion, and have managed to empty content from the videos app on my iphone.  However, of course I now cannot see the music videos either. 

I understand what you are saying about the TV show/movies are not actually on my iphone/ipad but in iCloud.  Is there any way I can see what content is in icloud and delete from there?    I thought maybe I could do this through itunes.?

Go to your videos and swipe the show you want deleted to the left. A red delete button will appear. If you ever want to watch it again just press the cloud button.
