How to Delete a Repost on TikTok (2026 Edition)

TL;DR

Open the repost -> Share -> Remove Repost.
You can also long-press a repost thumbnail to remove it.
Removing a repost does not affect the original video.

Open your Reposts tab (↻) on your profile.
Tap Share (right-facing arrow).
Tap Remove Repost.
A toast appears to confirm removal.

Method 2: Press-and-Hold Ninja Move

Long-press the video thumbnail inside the Reposts tab. A small menu appears with Remove Repost.

What Actually Changes When I Unrepost?

Followers stop seeing that repost in their feeds.
Likes/comments tied to your repost disappear.
The original upload is untouched.
You can repost it again later.

Why TikTok Still Makes Me Delete One-by-One

As of 2026 there is still no native "Delete All Reposts" button. If you have dozens to clean up, a desktop tool like ClearTok can remove reposts in batches.

Repost vs. Stitch vs. Duet (Quick Refresher)

Repost — Boost a video directly to my feed and my followers' FYP.
Stitch — Clip up to 5 seconds of an existing video into my own.
Duet — Record my reaction side-by-side with the original.

Common Issues

Remove Repost button missing: Update the app and try again.
Reposts tab missing: Check Activity Center -> History or try desktop.
Changes not showing: Refresh the app; mobile sometimes caches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the creator know I removed my repost?
A: Nope. TikTok keeps that silent.

Q: Does unreposting affect the original video's stats?
A: The original still holds all likes, comments, and shares from everyone else—including any your followers left on the original upload.

Q: Can I delete a Story repost the same way?
A: Yes—open the Story reel, tap the three-dot menu, and hit Delete.

Safety & Privacy Considerations

• Stick to the official TikTok app when unreposting—shady modded clients can expose your account.
• Avoid spam-tapping; rapid actions can trigger temporary rate limits (I keep it to ~100 removals per hour).

Beyond Manual: Scaling with Automation

For creators with thousands of reposts, manual removal is a slog. ClearTok uses human-like delays and lets you pause, resume, and export a removal log.

Final Take

Removing a repost takes seconds, and it does not affect the original video. Use the manual steps for a few reposts, and consider a desktop helper if you are cleaning a large backlog.

Final Words

Curating isn't about perfection—it's about authenticity. Keep what reflects you today, archive the rest, and let your TikTok presence evolve confidently.
