There may be times when you need to delete all transcriptions associated with a media item. It could be that the transcription is inaccurate and difficult to use, or that a user has created / edited the transcript inappropriately. In these instances, you can delete the transcript from the media.
You may re-publish the media to enable auto-transcription via ASR, or ask the administrator to request ASR transcripts for this media. Alternatively, if the closed captions on the media are usable, you can download the captions .vtt file for the media (from the Details tab of the Media Details page), then upload it as a transcription.
Selecting to delete transcripts deletes all versions of the transcripts applied to the media. If you want to retain one or any of those versions, download the transcript VTT file(s) first, then delete the transcripts.
