Open your active TikTok Story from Following, Inbox, or Profile, swipe up, then tap Delete and confirm. You can also use the Share button at the bottom of the Story.
1
Confirm the Story and preserve its original
Open the intended TikTok account and confirm the exact active Story. Save the original video elsewhere first if you need to keep it, because deleting the Story removes the published copy.
2
Open the active Story
In TikTok, tap your profile photo at the top of Following, Inbox, or Profile.
3
Open Story actions
Swipe up on the Story, or use the Share button at the bottom.
Refresh the profile from a trusted second account and confirm only the intended Story disappeared while saved original media remains available.
6
Report a missing delete control
If Delete is absent, update TikTok, reopen the Story from the profile, and use Settings and privacy > Report a problem with the account, Story timestamp, and visible controls. Do not use an automation tool to remove content.

If it does not work
