Instagram Reels: How to Delete a Clip

Remove content so that you can re-record

Instagram’s Reels feature allows users to create 15-second videos that contain one or more clips. If you record a clip in Reels and then decide you want to delete it and record a different clip, our guide will show you how to delete the clip from your video.

Step 1: Once you’ve captured a clip, tap the left arrow (“<“) to the left of the capture button at the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: Tap the trash can icon.

Step 3: Tap “Discard” to delete the last clip you added to your video.
