How to Delete Amazon Prime Videos from iPad

Saved too many Amazon Prime videos on your iPad? If your storage is running low or you’ve finished watching them, it’s time for a quick cleanup. This guide shows you exactly how to delete converted Amazon Prime videos from your iPad in a few simple steps—free up space and keep your device clutter-free.  

Typically, an iPad has 32GB or 64GB of storage. Amazon Prime Video converts are large—especially full seasons of TV shows. For example, a one-hour SD video takes up about 0.5GB, while HD videos can range from 1.8GB to 2.5GB per hour.

Let’s break it down:

On a 32GB iPad (with only around 25GB usable after system files), you can store roughly 10 to 12 HD movies before running out of space. If you’re converting full series or multiple movies for offline viewing, storage fills up fast—slowing down performance and even triggering storage warnings or app crashes.

That’s why deleting watched Amazon Prime videos is essential to keep your iPad running smoothly..

Q. How can I check how much space Prime Video are using on my iPad?

Go to Settings > General > iPad Storage, scroll to Prime Video, and you’ll see how much space its videos are occupying.

Amazon Prime Video allows registered users to convert rental or free videos on their compatible devices, including iPads. Amazon Prime ensures that the converted Prime videos expire automatically 30 days after converting them. In addition, viewers have a window of 48 hours to complete watching the video after starting to stream it. However, you can manually delete converted Amazon Prime videos without waiting for them to expire automatically.

Deleting Amazon Prime videos frees up space—but what if you didn’t have to delete them at all? Is there a way to keep your favorite shows and movies available offline without using up iPad storage?

Here’s the catch: Amazon’s converted videos are DRM-protected. You can’t move them to external drives or cloud storage, and they only work within the official Amazon Prime Video app.

But there’s a smarter solution.

StreamFox for Video lets you permanently save Amazon Prime videos to your Mac or Windows PC. From there, you can transfer them to a USB drive, external hard drive, or upload to a cloud service like iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive. On your iPad, you can stream these videos directly—no need to store them locally.

StreamFox offers high-speed performance with a 99% success rate and works with all major platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, HBO Max, and Hulu. It supports both Windows and macOS with dedicated versions.
