### What happens if I changed or disabled video transcoding ?
### How can I delete transcoded videos without deleting the original?
If user choose to transcode policy that makes it unnecessary and then run a transcoding job, it will delete unnecessary transcodes.
This can be done on a per-asset basis by starting a transcoding job for an asset, or for all assets by running transcoding jobs for all assets.
The transcode of an asset can be deleted by setting a transcode policy that makes it unnecessary, then running a transcoding job for that asset. This can be done on a per-asset basis by starting a transcoding job for an asset (with the _Refresh encoded videos_ button in the asset viewer options, or for all assets by running transcoding jobs for all assets.
If user choose to changed transcode policy and rerun transcoding job for an asset, the newly encoded videos will overwrite the old ones.
To update the transcode policy, navigate to Administration > Video Transcoding Settings > Transcoding Policy and select a policy from the drop-down. This policy will determine whether an existing transcode will be deleted or overwritten in the transcoding job. If a video should be transcoded according to this policy, an existing transcode is overwritten. If not, then it is deleted.
:::note
For example, say you have existing transcodes with the policy "Videos higher than normal resolution or not in the desired format" and switch to a narrower policy: "Videos not in the desired format". If an asset was only transcoded due to its resolution, then running a transcoding job for it will now delete the existing transcode. This is because resolution is no longer part of the transcode policy and the transcode is unnecessary as a result. Likewise, if you set the policy to "Don't transcode any videos" and run transcoding jobs for all assets, this will delete all existing transcodes as they are all unnecessary.
