How do I delete a downloaded media file ?

[vaise 340]

My son is going overseas and wanted some media for offline viewing, I said he could download from emby before he goes, then watche it.

I gave him a demo, but I cant find a delete button for the downloaded file anywhere ?

On the home screen click the gear icon next to My Downloads. From there you can use the trash bin icon to delete.

Nice 1 luke.  That was not obvious, all other media files have in when you click on it.

So......  how can yo just delete one or two but leave the others ?

 

This will be on his iphone, so he will want to keep as much space for photo's as possible, so delete as watched, but leave the others there for later offline viewing ?

each one should have an individual trash bin icon next to it.

Let's revive this super old thread because I couldn't figure this out on my kid's tablet.
Now that I know where to go, it keeps failing to delete the movie, so I guess I'll have to clear all app storage and set it back up for him.

Massive inconvenience that means I'll just copy over the next one and install a standard media player for him rather than use Emby at all for this.

Hi, what exactly happens when you try to delete it?
