The short answer
I couldn’t verify an official, video-specific way to delete an individual Grok Imagine video from grok.com or the standalone Grok app. The official video API reference I checked documents video generation and editing, but not an operation to delete a generated video. So don’t assume that deleting a conversation removes its video, or that a generated-video URL is a deletable file.
If there’s no delete control, xAI’s account FAQ directs users to its privacy-request portal at privacy.x.ai. You can submit a request there, but xAI’s published guidance does not confirm whether a request will delete a particular Imagine video or related data. Identify the service you used and the video you mean; don’t treat submitting a request as confirmation of deletion.
If you used Grok Imagine on the web or mobile app
- Check Grok Imagine and the conversation where you created the clip to locate it. I could not verify an official, video-specific deletion control, confirmation step, or procedure for checking that a video was removed.
- If you can’t find a delete option, submit a privacy request through
privacy.x.ai. xAI’s account FAQ identifies this as its privacy-request route, but does not specifically confirm how it handles Grok Imagine video deletion. In your request, identify the account and service (grok.comor the Grok app), describe the video, and ask whether the video and associated data can be deleted. Don’t assume the request guarantees removal. - Delete any copies you downloaded or saved separately—for example, from your device or cloud storage. An in-product request does not establish that copies in storage you control have been removed.
What a deletion action may—and may not—cover
Removing a visible gallery item, deleting a conversation, and requesting deletion of account data are different actions. I found no official guidance confirming that any one of these removes a specific Imagine video, its prompt, or every stored copy. Treat a video disappearing from the interface as confirmation only of what you can see there—not proof that related data has been erased.
If you generated the video through xAI’s API
The official video API reference documents generation requests and polling with a request_id; the documented video operations do not provide a generated-video deletion procedure. The API security FAQ says API requests and responses are stored on xAI’s servers for 30 days by default and automatically deleted after that period. That statement does not establish the lifetime or deletion behavior of a generated video file or URL, so don’t treat it as a video-specific deletion guarantee.
For an API privacy question, xAI’s account FAQ also points to privacy.x.ai for privacy requests. Explain that the data came through the API and identify the relevant request or output. The available guidance does not confirm whether the portal handles deletion of a particular generated video or provide a separate generated-output deletion endpoint.
An uploaded source file is a different resource from a generated video. xAI’s Files API documentation describes managing and deleting uploaded files by file ID; that operation should not be assumed to delete a generated result, a video URL, or copies stored by your application. Delete any files your application or team controls from the storage where you saved them.
If you used another API provider
Use that provider’s own documentation and privacy-request process. Check which resource an operation applies to—such as an uploaded file, generation job, or generated asset—and whether it removes provider-held data, a link, or neither. A third-party provider’s deletion controls do not establish what xAI supports.
Bottom line: I couldn’t verify a video-specific delete procedure for standalone Grok Imagine or xAI’s generated-video API. xAI identifies a privacy-request portal, but its published guidance does not promise deletion of a particular video. Keep provider-side requests, uploaded source files, generated outputs, and your own saved copies distinct.
