Archive purchased films on stream

Hello. New to sky stream. I see movies I bought a long time ago and will never watch again. Can they be archived? There doesn't appear to be an option.

I think your question and the answer given by  @Mister_Dalek was correct

Sky Stream and my LG tv don't have a hard drive

So in the purchase section of the Sky Store app on both Sky Stream and LG tv your movie titles are there to stream when you like

 

Sky Q has a hard drive so any purchased movies can be downloaded to the Sky Q box which takes up space you can archive these movies and re- download them when required the movie titles are still displayed but unlike Sky Stream if you select a movie it will stream straight away with Sky Q you have to wait for the movie to download to the box again

There isn't they will just remain within your Sky Store account.

You don't need to archive them. You don't own physical copies of them, you just own the right to stream them from your Sky Store account. They're not taking up much space anywhere as they are each just a single file stored on a server somewhere which anyone who's purchased that movie can stream on demand.
