Are you looking to learn how to delete a video on Vimeo? We have you covered. This is our complete guide to deleting a video on Vimeo.
This article will cover a number of Vimeo fundamentals. I’m sure you’ve come across Vimeo before.
First, let’s learn what Vimeo is.
What Is Vimeo?
When it comes to video platforms, YouTube is clearly the top dog, outclassing all competitors worldwide in terms of user numbers.
Nevertheless, it is worth – of course not only – for bloggers a look at other portals, such as Vimeo.
Vimeo is, so to speak, the alternative to YouTube. No video circus and no dump for blurry smartphone movies, but an offer with sophisticated content and a similar presentation.
In this post, you will learn how to register with Vimeo, what special features the platform has to offer, and if the portal is a good address.
If you only want to use Vimeo to watch videos, you do not need to register.
Anyone who wants to be active, however, requires a registration, which is absolutely straightforward: last name and first name, email address, and password – done. Necessary is also a confirmation.
Then you can complete your profile with additional information about your biography, your place of residence, and additional pictures – and then, in principle, immediately start uploading the first video.
However, Vimeo does not only apply special rules of the game in order to meet the substantive demands but also in terms of money.
When Was Vimeo Founded?
Vimeo was founded in 2004 by a group of filmmakers in New York who were looking for a way to show their works to a wider audience.
Out of this idea, a now globally active company has emerged, but still has filmmakers as well as professional creatives as the main target group.
Vimeo is compared to YouTube rather as a professional portal. In addition to artistic works can be found here also many high-quality video tutorials and online courses, which are often seen only for a fee.
How To Replace Video In Vimeo?
If you want to upload a new version of your videos without changing the URL, statistics, likes, and comments associated with the pages use the “Replace this video” function.
In the File tab of the video configuration, click on the “Replace this video” button to upload a new video file without changing the URL of the page or the statistics or likes or comments or tags, or the rest of the information associated with the video.
During the substitution process, the original video will remain available while you finish uploading the new one.
Once the replacement process is finished and the conversion is started, the original video will no longer be available and will soon be replaced.
How To Delete a Video On Vimeo?
To delete your video, select the Video file tab in the video settings and click on the red “Delete this video” button.
You will have to enter your account password to complete the deletion.
To remove more than one video at a time, check out our handy video manager.
Select the videos you want to delete from Vimeo, choose Delete from the menu on the right, enter your password and confirm the action.
Warning: All videos that you delete will be permanently removed from Vimeo. This action can not be undone. Be careful!

We detected a high number of errors from your connection. To continue, please confirm that you’re a human (and not a spambot).I can not delete this message or delete my old videos from my church services so that can watch my new services. How can I get out of this screen? It never goes away.

I wanna delete my video in my vimeo account. But when I try to delete it, it asks for the passwd for deleting the file.
I forgot the passwd, how can I get my passwd back, or reset my passwd for deleting the file,
The passwd I am asking is not the login passwd for the vimeo, it is for deleting my upload video file,
thanks
Just get in touch with Vimeo support.
I uploaded a dozen or so videos on Vimeo and got a dozen links in the format of https://vimeo.com/user999999999/review/999999999/999abc999a. After about a month or so I deleted those videos as I no longer needed them. A year and a half later I check to ensure they have been deleted and, as expected I got the error message: ”Sorry, we couldn’t find that page” for each and every one of the videos. So far so good. Problem is that somebody searched on my name and found that those videos are still online.
So I went back to the dozen or so URLs https://vimeo.com/user999999999/review/999999999/999abc999a and again found that all those videos returned an error message ”Sorry, we couldn’t find that page”. (this time I used a Screen Recording program). I asked the person which URL the videos are visible and I was given a URL with a different format that looks like: ”https://vimeo.com/user999999999”.
I went to that URL and saw the videos listed. How come those videos are visible on that short URL but not on the long URLs?? The second problem is that I tried to click on the ”Videos” button to delete them but the videos were not listed.
I contacted Vimeo to delete the videos and my account which they did but they can’t answer me, why the videos are visible on the short URL while not listed on the long URL and they also don’t know why the Videos ware not listed when I clicked on the Videos button.
Did anybody have or had a similar situation, videos listed in a short URL format but not in the Long URL?
Hi Andy,
I’ve not had that problem myself, so can’t help you with that specifically.
All I can recommend is that you keep pushing Vimeo support until they give you the answers you require.
Best of luck!
