Making an official request based on my thread here It would be nice to be able to delete synced content from a device while offline (on an airplane, for example), to clear up storage space. Servers could sync up the deletion on the next connection.

This would be a great feature to have while traveling, whether deleting a watched show/movie on an airplane, or in a remote town with no data connection (or very slow/capped connection). The app should not need an active connection back to the server just to delete a synced file from my phone.

This is definitely needed, a big disappointment when I started playing with it after signing up. Definitely need to be able to free up space when offline, like on vacation.

Wow I can’t believe this feature request is not getting more likes. It means if you are planning on going on vacation you need to use some other video player while you are away. Really poor design. The app lets you delete the sync’ed content, but for some strange and illogical reason doesn’t a…

Is there any recent development on this front?

I have not heard anything ever about this ever becoming a feature.

OMFG, just add this feature for goodness sake. I had my media server die on me during a trip and I realised I could not clear space without deleting the entire app.

I’m new to Plex, and I’ve been loving it, but I am really surprised to find this isn’t possible. Deleting offline content off any device, in any app, should not require an internet connection.
