Short answer
I couldn’t verify an official, video-specific control for deleting one Grok Imagine video from the app or grok.com. Don’t assume that Unsave, hiding a video, or deleting a conversation deletes the underlying video.
For Grok on grok.com or in the Grok app, use the SpaceXSI Privacy Portal as the documented fallback: its Delete your data options include generated content. This is a broader deletion route; the portal does not establish that you can select one specific video or say exactly what happens to that video. If you can’t access your account, the portal says to submit a privacy request. If you used Grok on X, follow the X Help Center instead; xAI says X’s policies apply to Grok on that platform.
Removing one video in the Grok app or on grok.com
The official material available here does not document where to find an individual Imagine video, which control to use, or what that action removes. A third-party guide mentions Unsave and a possible Delete Post option, but does not establish that these are current video controls or that either deletes the video asset. Treat those steps as unverified—not as a confirmed procedure.
If you need to request removal, open the SpaceXSI Privacy Portal and use Delete your data to review its generated content option. The portal also lists deletion of account data and conversation history; those are broader choices, not a verified one-video control. It does not promise immediate removal or specify the outcome for an individual Imagine video. For Grok used on X, use the X Help Center.
Deleting a video made through the xAI API
The API’s video-generation documentation does not establish a deletion operation for every generated video or returned video URL. URL expiry alone should not be treated as proof that the underlying video was deleted.
A separate, documented operation deletes a file stored in the xAI Files API when you have its file ID. It does not establish deletion of every video-generation result, consumer Imagine item, or local download. For a Files API file, use the documented DELETE /v1/files/{file_id} operation with your xAI API key:
curl -X DELETE "https://api.x.ai/v1/files/$FILE_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $XAI_API_KEY"
The Files API documentation says the deleted file no longer appears in GET /v1/files and that downloading its content returns 404. This confirmation applies to that Files API file—not to other records or copies.
If you created a public URL for a Files API file, revoking that URL is separate from deleting the file. Revocation stops access through the URL but does not delete the underlying file; use the file-deletion operation if you intend to delete that Files API object.
How to check your next step
- Consumer Grok video: The official sources reviewed do not explain a one-video deletion control. Use the Privacy Portal’s Delete your data → generated content option for the broader documented route; if you cannot access your account, submit a privacy request through the portal.
- Grok on X: Use the X Help Center, which xAI identifies for X-platform data or account deletion instructions.
- Files API object: Check whether the file is absent from
GET /v1/files; the documentation also says content download returns404after deletion. These checks apply only to that Files API object.
