# Removing Media from Vidigami

## Understand how to remove media from Vidigami

Users that upload media to a container (Page, Album, or Collection) can also remove that media. In addition, Vidigami Admin can also remove media that anyone has uploaded. 

When a user removes media from a container (like a Page, Album, or Collection), you are not deleting it from Vidigami. Instead, you're simply removing it from that location.

Here are more details:

- The media lives with the person who uploaded it. It is stored in their My Uploads area. (Vidigami Admin can access other user's My Uploads. [Here is an article](https://help.vidigami.com/knowledge/my-uploads?hsLang=en) on how to do that.)
- Containers (Pages, Albums, Collections) are shared spaces. When a user uploads media to a container, it is uploaded to their My Uploads area and then immediately shared to the specific container.
- When the uploader or Vidigami Admin removes media from a container, they are just removing the item from the container. They are not deleting the original file. The original file is still in the uploader's My Uploads area.
- To permanently delete something from Vidigami, the uploader (or an Admin) needs to go into My Uploads and delete it from there.
