Delete video storage
curl --request DELETE \

  "message": "Operation successful"
}
Delete only the video file from storage while keeping the video metadata, indexes, and transcripts. This reduces storage costs when you no longer need the original file. 
import videodb

conn = videodb.connect(api_key="your_api_key")
coll = conn.get_collection()

# Get video
video = coll.get_videos()[0]

# Remove storage while keeping metadata
video.remove_storage()

print("Video storage deleted (metadata retained)")
  • This operation is irreversible and cannot restore the video file
  • After removal, you cannot generate new streams or thumbnails from the video
  • Existing generated streams and thumbnails remain available
  • Video metadata, indexes, and transcripts are preserved
  • Used for cost optimization when original file is no longer needed
