Deleting Loom videos is quick, but it is also permanent in the way that matters: once a recording is gone, so is the walkthrough, the context, and every share link pointing at it. Two minutes of prep saves the occasional very bad surprise.
Before you delete anything
Download copies of anything you might want later. Deleting to free up space is the most common reason to be here — especially on the free plan, where the 25-video lifetime cap forces the choice — and it is exactly the situation where people delete something they later need. Here is how to export your Loom videos first; bulk-downloading before a cleanup takes minutes.
Also worth checking: whether any share links are embedded in docs, tickets, or onboarding materials. Deleted video means dead link, and Loom will not warn you about where it was embedded.
Deleting a single video
- Open the video from My Library.
- Open the ⋯ (more) menu on the video.
- Choose Delete, and confirm.
Deleting videos in bulk
- Go to My Library.
- Hover over a video thumbnail and tick the checkbox; select as many as you like.
- Use the Delete action that appears, and confirm.
Loom’s exact menus shift with redesigns, but the pattern has been stable: library → select → delete. If you use folders or Spaces, repeat per folder — selection is per view.
If you are deleting because of the video cap
Deleting old videos to stay under the free plan’s limit works, but notice what it means: your video history has become a rotating buffer. If the cap is the real problem, the alternatives are paying Loom’s per-seat price — or moving somewhere the math is friendlier. Chairkick’s free plan includes 30 videos, Pro is $15 per user per month with viewers always free, and the importer brings your existing Loom videos along so a cleanup can be a migration instead.
