# Deleting a project — a video, comic, series, or issue

How do I delete a project? How do I delete this video, or this comic, or scrap it and start over? Every kind of project — a story video, a comic series, a single issue — has its own delete button, and it is in the place you're already working. Deletion is **permanent** (there is no trash and no undo) and **spent credits are never refunded**.

Jump to: [a video](#delete-a-story-video) · [a video series or episode](#delete-a-video-series-or-a-single-episode) · [a comic series](#delete-a-comic-series) · [an issue](#delete-an-issue)

This page is about removing a *project*. To delete your whole **account**, see [Account settings, password, deletion](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/account-settings-password-deletion-rirdlw/).

## Delete a story video

Open the video, go to the **Tools** section of the left rail, and scroll to the bottom of the Video group. **Delete video** is the last item, in red.

You'll get a confirmation dialog listing what goes with it.

To delete **several videos at once**, go to your dashboard, open the **Videos** tab, and click **Select**. Tick the videos you want, then click **Delete** in the bar that appears at the bottom.

Bulk select only works on standalone videos. A **series** has to be deleted from its own page (below).

## Delete a video series or a single episode

Open the series page.

- **The whole series** — the trash icon at the far right of the series title row. Confirms first.
- **One episode** — the trash icon on that episode's row. **This one deletes immediately, with no confirmation step.** Be careful where you click.

Deleting a series deletes every episode in it.

## Delete a comic series

Open the comic, then click the **⋮** menu at the top-right of the title bar and choose **Delete Series**. Confirms first.

This removes the entire series: every issue, every page, and the characters and assets that belong to it.

## Delete an issue

Three ways, whichever suits where you are:

- **From the issue list** — the **⋮** menu on the issue card → **Delete**.
- **From inside the editor** — the **Tools** section of the left rail, at the bottom: **Delete Issue**.
- **Several at once** — on the Issues tab, click **Select**, tick the issues, then **Delete**.

Deleting one issue from a series **keeps your characters and assets** — they belong to the series, not the issue.

## What deletion actually removes

Permanently, and immediately:

- Every rendered page, panel, or video clip in that project
- The script and all its versions
- Characters, assets, and locations that belong *only* to what you deleted
- Any **public link**. If you had published the comic or video, anyone who saved that link now gets a "not found" page.

## Are credits refunded?

**No.** Credits are spent when art is generated, not when it's kept. Deleting a video you already rendered does not return those credits, and re-rendering later costs full price again.

If a generation *failed* — that's different, and it's refunded automatically. See [Failed generations and refunds](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/failed-generations-and-refunds-6vzv1b/).

If you just want to stop a project being visible to other people, **unpublish** it rather than deleting it. That takes down the public link and keeps your work and the credits you spent on it. See [publishing and sharing](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/publishing-and-sharing-your-comic-phhafd/) for comics, or [exporting and publishing a video](https://help.comicink.ai/en/article/exporting-and-sharing-story-videos-it6hud/).

## On the iPhone app

The iOS app can delete **issues** (the trash button in the editor's bottom toolbar), plus individual characters, assets, pages, and panels.

It **cannot** delete a whole comic series, and it has no video features at all. For those, use ComicInk on the web.
