The Library button in the navigation bar.
2. Click the item to select it, then press the Delete key.
3. Click Delete [item].
4. Do one of the following:

Hi Tommy,


What version of iTunes is installed? If you go to the Films (Movies) section of the iTunes library, then right-click on the movie you want to remove do you see any of these options in the context menu that shows up?


Download

Remove Download

Delete From Library

Delete


See Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books - Apple Support if you want to hide purchases that you've already watched from showing up in other libraries and devices.

Hey there tommy6600,


We appreciate you reaching out on Apple Support Communities! We'd be happy to take a look at this with you. From your post, it sounds like you're unable to remove a movie that is in the Apple TV app after syncing it with a computer.


Delete movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app - Apple Support has the best steps to help resolve this. Specifically:


"If you can't delete your movies or TV shows

  • Hide the item: Hiding an item removes it from your Library when you're signed in with your Apple ID.
  • Turn off computer syncing: If you used a USB cable to manually sync movies or TV shows from your Mac or PC to your iPhone or iPad, you can turn off syncing to remove the content from your Library.
  • Check if the item is downloaded: If you see the Download icon next to a movie or episode, it's downloaded on your device. If you don't see the Download icon, the movie or episode isn't downloaded."


We hope that helps!


Have a lovely day.

No that is completely wrong I cannot delete the movie from my iTunes setting->films library on my PC


AFTER it is already deleted from Apple TV


every movie I manually upload to my phone appears to permanently stay on my pc itunes even after I delete it on the phone - why is that? There are multiple threads on this community that has raised the issue for over 10 yrs and never been answered
