How to delete a TikTok video
To delete a TikTok video, open the TikTok app and follow these steps:

What happens after you delete a TikTok?
When you delete a TikTok video, the video is removed from your profile and is no longer accessible to other TikTok users. The video will also not appear in any search results or on any other user’s “For You” page. However, if other users have downloaded or shared your video before you deleted it, they may still have a copy of it. Also, if your video has been used in a duet or reaction video, the other user’s video may still be available on TikTok even after you delete your original video.

How to edit a TikTok video
Pocket-linthas a separate guide on TikTok with tips and tricks, but the TL;DR version is: Once your footage has been uploaded or recorded, you’re able to use the options from the right-hand menu on the screen to add text, stickers, effects, filters, or captions. You cannot edit a video after it’s already been created and shared on TikTok.
