​â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹To delete a download, use the 'edit' button (pencil icon) at the top of the screen, or simply swipe left on the download you would like to remove. If you'd like to remove all downloads in a series, you can delete multiple episodes on the main Downloads menu.

To delete individual episodes from a series, tap on the series and either tap the pencil icon and select the individual episodes you'd like to delete, or swipe left on the episode then tap on the bin icon.

Three images from the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú iPlayer mobile app. The first shows the download screen with the 'edit' button highlighted with episodes selected ready for deletion. The second shows an episode being deleted by swiping left, and the third shows the confirmation of deletion screen.
