How to delete media files from My Media

Only media Owners can delete media from My Media. (For your Course Capture videos, the Course Capture system is the Owner; you are a Co-Editor. You can request that the Course Capture service delete any of your Course Capture videos: please send email to coursecapturehelp@berkeley.edu). 

Also note that media cannot be deleted from My Media if it is published. Media is published if the word "Published" appears next to the media in green in My Media (see screenshot below). 

Tip: If immediate and complete deletion is critical, a workaround (even if you are only Co-Editor or if you are unable to delete because Kaltura thinks your media is published), is to use the Kaltura Editor to trim out all but a very small portion of the content in your video and Save (do not use Save a Copy); see How do I use the Kaltura video editor?
