How do I delete downloads on a mobile or tablet?

To delete a fully downloaded programme:

  1. Open the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer app and select who's watching
  2. Tap on Downloads

​βΆΔ‹βΆΔ‹βΆΔ‹βΆΔ‹βΆΔ‹βΆΔ‹To delete a download, use the 'edit' button (pencil icon) at the top of the screen, or simply swipe left on the download you would like to remove. If you'd like to remove all downloads in a series, you can delete multiple episodes on the main Downloads menu.

To delete individual episodes from a series, tap on the series and either tap the pencil icon and select the individual episodes you'd like to delete, or swipe left on the episode then tap on the bin icon.

Three images from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer mobile app. The first shows the download screen with the 'edit' button highlighted with episodes selected ready for deletion. The second shows an episode being deleted by swiping left, and the third shows the confirmation of deletion screen.

To delete programmes from the queue:

  1. Open the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer appΜύand select who's watching
  2. Tap Downloads
  3. Programmes that are currently downloading will have a circle with an 'x' in the middle. Tap this to cancel the download.
  4. Confirm that you would like to delete the download.

If you experience problems with ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer, uninstall and reinstall the app. Be careful to note that this will, unfortunately, mean you’ll lose all the programmes you’ve downloaded.
