I don't see my airdropped videos with a file type .wmv

I airdropped 2 videos on my ipad with a file type .wmv. It does not show on my ipad, but it took up space. Where did it go? HELP!

When you delete a file from files it moves to recently deleted. Go back to the Browse screen and tap recently deleted. You can permanently delete files from that location. The space will free eventually; might take a few minutes.


wmv videos will only transfer to files since they cannot be played in native apps on the iPad.


As for the second video, I'd look in "on my iPhone"
