Free Up Storage Space
When you delete videos, the storage space will be freed up in your account's storage limit. This process releases the minutes associated with the deleted videos from your total usage.
If you might need the video in the future, consider unpublishing instead of deleting it completely.

⚠️ WARNING: There might be a slight delay in updating your storage usage display after deleting videos. While the system technically frees up space immediately, it may take a short time before the changes are reflected in your storage metrics.
