How do I delete photos and videos from my game or from KinectShare.com?
Most Kinect games do not save your images or videos. If you do not upload the images or videos immediately from the game, they are lost. If your game does save images and videos, you can check the game’s manual and menus for steps that you can use to delete them.
Any photo or video that is uploaded to KinectShare.com is automatically deleted after 14 days. You can also manually delete any photo or video from the site at any time. Just visit KinectShare.com and log in with the Microsoft account that is associated to your Xbox LIVE account. Then, delete the photos or videos. They are never made public unless you choose to share them using KinectShare.com.
