# Delete an ad video

`DELETE /v1/ads/videos/{videoId}`

Removes a video from the ad account's video library. Meta's canonical
`DELETE /{video_id}` fails with code 10 / subcode 1363055 for videos uploaded via
`/act_X/advideos` even with `ads_management`; this endpoint uses the working
account-scoped shape `DELETE /act_X/advideos?video_id=<id>` and returns Meta's
`{success: true}` verbatim. Deleting a video that lives in a different ad account,
or that Meta has already removed, returns Meta's error verbatim as a 4xx.
