Cannot delete a video clip from iPad, the Edit button doesn't appear ?

With iMovie for iOS (iPad) I try to permanently delete a video clip from my iPad.

I follow the article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3186. But even if the video clip I want to delete is not used in a project, I simply do not find the Edit button in the upper-left corner above the Video browser as mentionned.

This is a screenshot

the Ipad is running iOS 5.1.1 (9B206), the video are not stored in 'pellicule'

Am I crazy ?

Thank you for any help.

iMovie (iOS), iOS 5.1.1

Did you shoot the video in iMovie?

Or did you shoot it via the camera app?

If it was shot in the camera app, then it needs to be deleted in the Photos app.

Can you see the video in the photos app?

You can permanently delete a video clip from your device as long as it’s not in the Camera Roll or the Photos app.

No I didn't shoot the videao in iMovie neither with the camera app. So I do not found them in the Phto app.

I think I've imported the video from a SD card.

It's strange, isn't it ?

When you import from an SD card it goes into the photos app, and you can delete them from there.

If you recorded in iMovie you can delete there.

So I'm not sure how you got the video into iMovie.

You could delete the app and reinstall, that would delete the movies if they are in iMovie
