If you delete a movie you purchased from your device, does it stay in icloud?

And can it be redownloaded later?

What Kind of Movie is This?:

  • Is this an iTunes Movie?:

As long as it has not been removed from the iTunes Store, then yes, it will stay in the iTunes Library. If it has become a hidden purchase, then it would not show up unless you were to view Hidden Purchases. Go Here: Unhiding Hidden Purchases


  • Is this a Home Movie?:

If a home movie, then it would likely not show up, if never uploaded to iCloud.
