How to Remove and Delete Reposted TikTok Videos You Uploaded

TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms, with over 1 billion monthly active users. The app makes it easy for users to create and share short videos, often set to music.

A popular feature on TikTok is the ability to “repost” videos created by other users. This shares the video to your own TikTok profile. However, you may later decide you want to remove a reposted video from your profile. Here is a guide on how to delete reposted TikTok videos.

Why You May Want to Remove Reposted TikTok Videos

There are a few reasons why you may want to delete TikTok videos you have reposted:

  • The original video was deleted. If the original video gets deleted from TikTok, having it reposted on your profile will not work. The video will show up as unavailable. Deleting the repost cleans up your profile.
  • You no longer like the video. Your tastes or opinions on a reposted video may change over time. Deleting old reposts keeps your profile fresh and relevant.
  • Too many reposts. Reposting too many videos can make your profile seem spammy. Occasionally removing old reposts keeps things balanced.

How to Find Your Reposted TikTok Videos

Before you can delete a reposted video, you first need to locate it on your profile. Here are a few ways to find TikTok videos you have reposted:

  • Profile tab. Open the “Profile” tab on TikTok and look for videos marked with “Reposted” underneath them.
  • Bookmarks. Tap the “Bookmarks” icon on your profile to see all your bookmarked and reposted videos.
  • Search bar. Use keywords in the search bar to try and locate a specific reposted video.

Once you have found the reposted video you want to remove, open it on your profile.

Deleting a Reposted Video on TikTok

Deleting a reposted video from your TikTok profile only takes a few taps:

  1. Tap the “Share” arrow icon on the right side of the reposted video.
  2. A menu will open up. Tap “Remove repost” at the bottom.
  3. A confirmation message will appear. Tap “Remove” to confirm deleting the repost.

And that’s it! The reposted video is now removed from your TikTok profile. Repeat these steps for any other videos you have reposted that you want to delete.

What Happens When You Remove a Repost

When you remove a reposted video from your profile, here is what happens:

  • The original video will remain on TikTok unaffected. Only your repost is deleted.
  • The video will no longer appear on your profile or in your “Bookmarks”.
  • Any likes, comments, or views of your repost will be permanently deleted.
  • The video will no longer show up on your friends’ For You pages.
  • The original creator of the video will not be notified you removed the repost.

So in summary, removing a repost simply deletes your shared version of the video as if you never reposted it. The original video itself stays intact on TikTok.

Tips for Managing Your Reposts

To keep your reposts organized and avoid having too many to manage:

  • Bookmark reposts you want to save. That way they show up neatly in your Bookmarks tab.
  • Delete old reposts you no longer care about. Keep things fresh.
  • Limit new reposts to just one or two a day.
  • Use search to find and delete specific reposts.

Following these tips will make managing your reposted videos much easier!

Can You Undo a Removed Repost?

Unfortunately, once you permanently delete a reposted video from your TikTok profile, there is no way to retrieve it. Removing a repost is irreversible.

The only option would be to repost the video again from the original creator’s profile. But you would lose any of your previous likes, comments, or views.

So be certain before you remove one of your reposts!

Other Options for Deleting TikTok Videos

In addition to removing reposts, you can delete videos you have uploaded yourself to TikTok through your profile. Tap the “Delete” option to permanently remove your own uploaded videos.

You can also set videos to “Private” to hide them from your profile timeline. Private videos remain on TikTok but only you can view them.

Conclusion

Reposting popular TikTok videos can be great for exposure and expression. But removing old reposts keeps your profile clean and focused.

Finding and deleting reposted videos only takes a few taps once you get the hang of it. Be sure to bookmark videos you want to save before removing a repost.

Following this guide, you’ll learn how to easily remove and manage reposted videos on your TikTok profile.
