Is it possible to delete all audio files from the media library?

Great question, Sally!

You can delete assets from the media library if they aren’t used anywhere in your project. Just select an asset in the list on the left side of the screen and click the Delete button in the lower right corner of the details pane. (The button will be grayed out if the asset is in use.)

It sounds like you need a way to delete a group of media files all in one click. Thanks for letting us know what you'd like to see, and I'll be sure to pass along this idea to our Product team. 😁

Thanks for clarifying, Sally and happy to hear you found a method that'll work for you! 

I also noticed that your email signature came through when you replied via email. You can remove that if you would like by clicking Edit beneath your response. Here’s a quick Peek video if you need help.

I hope you can give us a step by step on how to remove multiple audios at once. I can't find any options for that in the content library or media library. Thank you so much!

HI Jirah!

I'm happy to offer a step by step!

Before we get started, there are a few notes to keep in mind.

• When you add an asset to a slide using the Storyline ribbon, the asset automatically appears in your media library. And if you later delete the asset from the slide, it also disappears from the media library.

• However, when you import an asset directly into the media library, it’ll remain in the library until you delete it. If the asset’s use count is zero, you can use the Delete button to remove it from the media library.

Now onto the steps!

1. To delete multiple assets in the Media Library, first, make sure they aren't used in the course. If they are used in the course, the Delete button will be greyed out.
2. Select the assets that you want to delete. On your keyboard, hold down the WINDOWS key, or COMMAND if you're using a Mac, and then use the mouse to click each asset.
3. Lastly, click the Delete icon in the lower right corner of the Media Library.

The delete icon looks like this: 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Hallo. 

Just popping in for help. 

I want to delete some video's in my course, but don't have the delete buttons at all.

Is there a problem with my Storyline 360? There in no update waiting or anything.

I just can't delete the video.

Thank you.

Hello Ansie!

Thank you for sharing this screenshot! It looks like the videos you're interested in deleting are located on slides in your project. In that case, you'll need to delete the videos on the slides. You'll have the option to delete assets in the Media Library if they aren't currently in use.

Please let me know if you have additional questions!

Hallo.

Thank you.

I have deleted all the video in the slides. Still doesn't give me the option to delete the asset in the Media Library.

I don't get this in my library. 

Am I doing something wrong?

Do I need to start this project form scratch?

Thank you.

Awesome, Ansie. I'm glad that you were able to figure it out. I appreciate you popping in to share and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊

Hi there - do I understand correctly that you cannot bulk delete audio in your project if an audio clip is being used on a slide? thanks

Yep, in the same boat @Felecia Reedus, a bit crazy that you have to use such a backwards method to remove something simple.
