Can't find movies that are on my iPad

I have a lot of movies (MP4) on my iPad, which I want to remove. I can't find them, though I know they're there (only 5GB available). What am I doing wrong?

iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi

Something’s wrong here. I’m assuming you’re referring to the Apple TV app, since I can’t find a “TV” app. It will eventually load my videos, though it takes quite a while. There is only one button showing, “Play.” It does play. My usage diagram doesn’t show the movies, and says I have tons of space, but when I check available space on the iPad it says 5GB.

I’m using an iPad Air 2 with iPados13.1, if that makes a difference.

Sorry about taking so long to get back to you. That is the TV app that I was talking about. Sorry for the confusion. You do not have any movies downloaded to the iPad. If you did, you would see the Downloaded on the left side under Library.


This is a screenshot of my TV app.



I can’t see the rest of what is taking up the storage on your iPad from the screenshots.

Take a look at the instructions here.

It says TV app but I think it will still work.


If that doesn’t work for you go to Settings>iPad Storage. Let the list of apps load. Find the videos app. Tap on Videos App. You can delete movies and videos in the next screen.


I am going from memory and my not have the exact steps, but I think once you get into the iPad storage settings, you will figure it out.
