Deleting link created for video

[Sodamajorask]

How do I delete a link that I created for a video on my Android? Where can this link be found? I'd appreciate any response, thanks in advance.

Depends on how the link was created. I'm assuming you have a Samsung device and this was created using the Quick Share option? If so, just search for Quick Share in your phone's settings and there you'll see a section for Link Sharing History.

How did you share the link? Can you still see it?

Welcome to Android Central! I moved this from the General News forum to the Ask A Question forum.

All right thanks for the replies, I have a Blu View 4 smartphone. I did look for Quick Share under settings, this didn't provide any saved links.

So I created this link by selecting a video and then clicking Share. From here I clicked "Create link." Any tips on how to find it?

Forgot to write, I sent this link to my email address. So I can see it on my computer. I just can't locate it in the phone.

The link would have been saved to the clipboard. Phones can vary on how those are treated. Some may only store one item at a time, which is erased whenever the next copy command, link creation, etc. is used. Other phones will have a more advanced clipboard that retains multiple items and allow direct access to it. I'm not familiar with your specific device, but one way to check is to open a text entry box or note app and long press the in the text entry area. If there is a paste option, try it and see what it pastes. If you see a clipboard option, select that and see what all is in it.

In any case, those clips are only stored temporarily and will be erased as new clips are added.

Thanks, I typed in some text in the text message field and did a "long press." It does bring up a copy and paste function, although it doesn't bring up the clipboard.

I did a web search and there's no specific advice I can find on accessing the clipboard on a Blu View 4. I'm going to call up the company when I get a chance.

Your keyboard app may have a way to access the clipboard, or you can install Gboard (Google's keyboard) for a clipboard access icon. I kinda doubt that phone would save multiple items, though.

BTW, why are you wanting to delete it? And are you wanting to delete what is in the clipboard, or to invalidate the link all together so it wouldn't even work if you clicked on it in the email you sent yourself?

If you open the link on your phone (via your e-mail), does it open the shared file or does it give you more options there?

Well you guys know more about Blu View 4s than Blu Products, as I got nowhere with this company in trying to obtain instructions on deleting the link.

So I went to the email containing the link on my phone at SpookDroid's suggestion, and it turns out there's an option to "Delete Album." (This option isn't available in the same email on my laptop.)

So I clicked "Delete Album," and the link was effectively deleted. It no longer works either on my phone or computer. Mission accomplished.

Thanks again for all the replies.

Glad you got it sorted!
