How to delete all favorites on TikTok


If your TikTok favorites tab is overflowing with videos, sounds, effects, or products you no longer need, learning how to delete all favorites on TikTok can help you clean up and reorganize your saved content. TikTok allows users to favorite items for quick access later, but over time, these collections can grow cluttered. Although TikTok does not offer a one-click “delete all” option, there are effective ways to remove favorites quickly and manage your collections more efficiently.

This guide explains how to delete favorites individually, how to clear entire collections, and how to manage your saved items more easily.

Can You Delete All Favorites on TikTok at Once?

Technically, TikTok does not provide a built-in button that mass-deletes all favorites at once.
However, you can:

  • Remove items manually
  • Delete entire collections
  • Quickly unfavorite videos using bulk actions (depending on app version)

We’ll cover every method below.

Method 1: How to Delete All Favorites on TikTok by Removing Items Manually

This is the most reliable method since it works on all devices and app versions.

Step 1: Open TikTok

Launch the app on your phone.

Step 2: Go to Your Profile

Tap the Profile icon at the bottom right.

Step 3: Tap the Favorites Tab

It appears as a bookmark icon next to your “Edit Profile” button.

Step 4: Select the Category (Videos, Sounds, Effects, etc.)

Choose the type of favorite you want to delete.

Step 5: Open the Video or Item

Tap on any saved item.

Step 6: Tap the Bookmark Icon Again

This icon will remove it from your favorites.

Repeat for as many items as needed.

Method 2: How to Delete All Favorites by Clearing a Collection

If you’ve grouped your favorites into collections, you can delete the entire collection—which removes all items inside it.

Step 1: Go to the Favorites Section

Tap the bookmark icon on your profile.

Step 2: Open Any Collection

You’ll see a list of created collections.

Step 3: Tap the Three Dots (•••) in the Top-Right Corner

This opens collection options.

Step 4: Choose “Delete Collection”

Confirm the deletion.

This removes:

  • The collection folder
  • All videos stored inside it

Note: The original videos remain on TikTok, but they are no longer favorited.

Not all users have this feature.
