Hello! I’m new to the Apple universe and still learning about the cool capabilities Apple products offer.
Some how, I put 4 video files in to Ipad Photos; instead of in TV where the files belong. Now, I can’t move them to TV or delete them.
I would like to just delete them and start over.
I’m hoping someone can provide me some direction in getting these video files deleted.
The IPad is a 10th. Generation running IPadOS v17.4.1

How did you get them into Photos exactly?
If you synced from iTunes or the new Devices App for Windows, you will need to do the same thing again, and un-sync them to remove the from the iPad.
To get them onto the TV App, they must be added to iTunes / TV App as a movie or video, and synced as such, rather than through the Photos sync option.
