How do I remove a video that was uploaded to the wrong location?

I was posting some photos and videos I had taken at a small airport. When selecting the photos and videos from my phone, I accidentally clicked on a video that was not from the airport I was uploading to. I would like to remove it and upload it to the correct airport. Thanks!

This video belongs at another airport. I don’t want to necessarily report it, I just want to remove it since I’m the one who uploaded it.

Thank you for asking @Randy_Broderick , and thanks for keeping the information in Maps related to the correct place.

Deleting a video is very simple, and you can find the indication directly on Google Maps help: Add, remove, or share photos and videos that is accessible from your app tapping on your avatar on the Google maps App.

Removing a Video is exactly like remove a Photo:

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, open Google Maps.
  2. Tap Contribute (+)
  3. Tap the “Photos” tab to view your contributed photos.
  4. To delete a photo, tap More > Delete this photo.

On desktop the procedure is the same. See here below an example from Your contributions > Photos

When you delete a photo or a video, the photo will not disappear immediately from your contribution and from the location. It may takes up to 24 hours, for the synchronization of the databases
