When you post a video, TikTok records its performance statistics to recommend your upcoming videos to the relevant viewers. And most importantly, when you delete a media file it affects your performance data on TikTok and also your page algorithm.Deleting 50 videos which were getting 10 or 20 likes will deprive you of 500 to 1000 likes on your page. Deleting it may lower traffic on your other videos. Sometimes a video which is not doing good on TikTok might be serving just as a redirecting agent to other videos on your page. An influencer’s content has internal connections between all their files, and one media file redirects the viewers to other media files.
