Removing a subtitle

If a subtitle has already been approved, however you would like to have it removed, there is a way to do this but access to it is very hidden. You have to get to the classic attachment editor for the video and set the corresponding language association to 0.

To access this, within the Submitted video section of your post, start by clicking on the link next to “Edit attachment”.

Once in the attachment editor, enter 0 for the corresponding language to remove it and update your post.
