Unfortunately, once a collection is deleted on TikTok, it cannot be recovered. All saved videos inside the collection are moved back to your general "Favorites" tab — so the videos are safe, but the collection name and structure are gone.
►Important: If you delete a collection by mistake, don't worry about the videos themselves. They are not removed — only the folder (collection) is deleted.
Here’s how to delete a collection using the TikTok mobile app (iOS & Android):
Open the TikTok App and tap on your profile icon in the bottom right.
Select the “Collections” tab.
Choose “Delete Collection”.
Confirm by tapping “Delete” again.
► Done! Your collection is deleted. The videos are still available in your general Favorites.
As of 2025, TikTok's web interface does not allow users to manage collections, including creating or deleting them. You’ll need to use the TikTok mobile app to delete collections.
⇒ Tip: You can still view your saved videos on desktop, but for full control over collections, always use the mobile app.
No, TikTok does not currently offer a sorting feature for collections. Collections appear in the order you created them. There's no drag-and-drop or reorder function — at least, not yet.
If you’ve saved reposted videos into a collection and want to delete it:
Go to Favorites → Collections.
Open the repost collection.
Tap the three dots (•••).
Select “Delete Collection”.
Note: This won’t delete the reposted videos themselves; they’ll stay in your general Favorites.
You can edit a collection name or remove videos from it by:
1. Going to the collection.
2. Tapping the three-dot icon (•••).
3. Selecting “Rename” to change the title.
4. To remove videos:
Open the collection
Tap “Manage videos”
Select the videos to remove
Tap “Remove from Collection”
Deleting collections on TikTok is simple, quick, and doesn’t erase your saved videos — just the folder they're in. Whether you're organizing your saved content, removing clutter, or just starting fresh, this guide shows you exactly how to get rid of collections on TikTok the right way.
