How can I remove (delete) Clipchamp videos from the C:drive?

To safely remove Clipchamp videos and free space on the C: drive, there are two separate things to consider:

1. Remove Clipchamp temporary/cache files (safe, but may require relinking media later)
2. Remove or move finished video files and source media (your own files) using normal file management

1. Remove Clipchamp temporary files

How this is done depends on whether Clipchamp is used in the Windows desktop app or in a browser.

A. If using the Clipchamp desktop app (Windows app)

There are two supported options.

Option 1 – Reset the Clipchamp app (clears cache and temp files)

1. Close Clipchamp.
2. Open the Windows Start menu.
3. Go to Settings → Apps → Installed Apps.
4. Find Clipchamp in the list.
5. Select the three dots (…) on the right → Advanced options.
6. On the next screen, select Reset.

This deletes the app’s data cache including temp files and frees the disk space used by them.

Option 2 – Manually delete the temp folders

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Navigate to: C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Packages\Clipchamp.Clipchamp_yxz26nhyzhsrt\LocalState\EBWebView\
3. Delete all subfolders inside EBWebView.
4. Empty the Recycle Bin.

After the Recycle Bin is emptied, the space used by these temp folders is freed.

Note: For Clipchamp personal accounts, if content backup is not used, projects may ask to locate media again after temp files are removed. Make sure copies of original media files are available before clearing temp data.

B. If using Clipchamp in a browser (Edge or Chrome)

1. Open a Clipchamp editing project in a browser tab.
2. Open the browser developer tools (for example, in Edge: see developer tools).
3. In DevTools, open the Application tab.
4. On the left, select Storage.
5. On the bottom-right, select IndexedDB and Cache Storage, and deselect all other options.
6. Click Clear site data.

This clears the Clipchamp temp data stored by the browser and frees that disk space.

For work/school accounts, media is stored in OneDrive/SharePoint and will be re-fetched when projects are opened again.

2. Remove or move finished videos and other large personal files

Clipchamp exports finished videos to normal folders (e.g., Videos, Documents, or a custom folder). These are just regular files and can be deleted or moved like any other file.

To find and clean up large files on the C: drive in Windows 10 or 11:

1. Open File Explorer from the taskbar.
2. Under This PC, open folders such as Videos, Pictures, Music, Downloads, and any folder where Clipchamp exports were saved.
3. On the ribbon/menu, choose View → Details.
4. Right‑click in the file list and select Sort by → Size to show the largest files first.
5. Delete videos and other files that are no longer needed.
6. Empty the Recycle Bin to actually free the space.

If some videos should be kept but not on C::

• Connect an external drive (USB/SD card).
• In File Explorer, select the files → Cut → navigate to the external drive → Paste.

This keeps the videos but removes them from the C: drive.
