How to Delete Captions from MiVideo and Canvas

Resolution

To delete captions files you must be the media owner or co-editor. See the Collaboration and Roles article to learn how to add co-editors to media. 

Caution: You will not be able to re-order machine-generated captions for this media entry. If captions are inaccurate, try editing the captions instead (see the Edit Captions article). If captions are out of sync, try re-syncing the file instead (see the Edit Captions Outside of MiVideo or Fix Out of Sync Captions article).
