For the life of me I'm unable to remove old films & TV shows that I've replaced (or no longer want) with HD & 4K versions on Apple TV. I expected Apple to automatically upgrade some to 4K, but that didn't happen so I went ahead & purchased newer copies in the best formats and am left with unwanted copies that I can't seem to get rid of. Not particularly urgent, but I'd like to have them permanently removed.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

How do I remove home videos from my apple tv 'list'? I used Brian Brown Cash-Dollar's extremely helpful advice on transferring home movies/DVDs into the Apple TV repository, but don't know how to remove them. I have hundreds of movies and would prefer to keep only a fraction of them in circulation at any one time, so it would be useful to know how to remove the old ones and replace with new titles. Any help gratefully received!

Permanently deleting movies from library Is there a way to permanently delete movies and/or TV shows from my library? I understand I can hide them, but that doesn't allow me to purchase said movie again from the store. The reason I ask is that I had connected a movies anywhere account a few years back, and have since realized that many of the movies do not upgrade to 4k/Atmos. There are quite a few of these movies I would like to purchase from the iTunes store to get these upgrades versions, but it won't let me since I "have already purchased" it.
