TikTok doesn't have a bulk delete button for reposts, but you can delete them quickly one at a time
TikTok has no feature to select and delete multiple reposts in a single action. You will need to delete each repost individually through your profile, though the process takes only a few seconds per video once you know where to look. If you have dozens of reposts to remove, this means spending five to ten minutes on the task rather than one.
The fastest method is to go to your profile, find the repost, tap the three-dot menu, and select delete. Reposts appear in your main video feed just like original videos, so they are straightforward to spot — they show a small "Repost" label in the corner. You do not need to find the original video or contact the creator; deleting your repost removes only your version.
Key Takeaways
- Open your TikTok profile, scroll to find reposts (marked with a "Repost" label), and tap the three-dot menu on each one to delete it.
- Deleting your repost does not affect the original video or notify the creator — it only removes your version from your profile.
- There is no way to filter your profile to show only reposts, so you will need to scroll through your videos to find them.
- If you have a large number of reposts, consider whether you want to make your profile private while you delete them, since deletions are visible to followers in real time.
How to delete a single repost from your profile
Start by opening TikTok and going to your profile — tap the person icon at the bottom right of the screen. Scroll through your videos until you find one marked "Repost" in the upper left corner. The label appears on every repost you have shared.
Once you find a repost you want to remove, tap the three dots (•••) in the bottom right corner of the video. A menu will appear with several options. Select "Delete" from that menu. TikTok will ask you to confirm — tap "Delete" again, and the repost is removed from your profile when ready.
Finding reposts when your profile has many videos
If you have posted frequently, scrolling through your entire profile to find reposts one by one can take a long time. TikTok's search and filter tools do not let you narrow down to reposts only, so you have to look manually.
A faster approach is to remember roughly when you made the reposts and scroll to that time period first. If you know you reposted several videos last month, start scrolling from a month ago rather than from your most recent post. You can also open your profile in a web browser (at tiktok.com) and scroll there, which some people find faster than the mobile app, though the delete process is the same.
What happens when you delete a repost
Deleting a repost removes it from your profile only. The original creator's video stays on their profile and in the TikTok system. No notification goes to the creator telling them you deleted your repost — they will not know unless they check your profile directly.
If someone liked, commented on, or shared your repost before you deleted it, those interactions disappear along with the video. The original video's likes and comments are not affected. If you repost the same video again later, it will appear as a new repost with a new timestamp, and it will not restore any of the old interactions.
Reposts and your follower feed
When you delete a repost, it disappears from your followers' feeds as well. If a follower had already seen the repost and liked it, the like remains in their activity history, but the video itself will no longer be viewable. This happens when ready — there is no delay between when you delete and when it vanishes from followers' feeds.
If you are concerned about how deletions look to your audience, you can make your profile private before deleting multiple reposts. This hides your profile from people who do not follow you, though your followers will still see the deletions in real time. Once you finish deleting, you can switch back to public.
Why you might want to delete reposts
People delete reposts for different reasons. Some want to keep their profile focused on original content only. Others reposted videos that no longer reflect their interests or values. Some delete reposts because the original creator asked them to, or because the original video was later removed by TikTok.
If you are trying to clean up your profile before explore for a brand partnership or creator fund, deleting reposts can help — some programs prefer to see original content. Check the specific requirements of any program you are interested in, since policies vary.
Preventing future reposts you might delete later
If you find yourself deleting reposts regularly, you might want to think about when you repost in the first place. Before reposting, ask yourself whether the video fits your profile and whether you will want it there in a few weeks or months. Reposting is straightforward, but deleting later takes time.
You can also turn off repost notifications if you do not want to be reminded of videos you have reposted. In your settings, go to Notifications and toggle off "Reposts" — this stops TikTok from sending you alerts about your own reposts, though it does not affect your ability to repost or delete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I delete all my reposts at once?
No, TikTok does not have a bulk delete feature for reposts. You must delete each one individually by opening your profile, finding the repost, tapping the three-dot menu, and selecting delete. The process is fast per video, but takes time if you have many reposts.
Does the original creator know if I delete my repost?
No, the creator receives no notification. They will not know you deleted your repost unless they visit your profile and notice it is gone. Deleting your repost does not affect their original video in any way.
What if I accidentally delete a repost I wanted to keep?
TikTok does not have an undo feature for deleted videos. If you delete a repost by mistake, you can repost the original video again, but it will appear as a new repost with a new timestamp and will not restore any likes or comments the old version had.
Do my followers see when I delete a repost?
Your followers will see that the repost is no longer on your profile, but they do not receive a notification saying you deleted it. If they had already seen and liked the repost, the like stays in their activity history even though the video is gone.
Can I filter my profile to show only reposts?
No, TikTok does not have a filter to display only reposts. You have to scroll through your profile manually to find them. The "Repost" label in the corner of each repost makes them straightforward to spot once you start looking.
