how do i remove these options to members?

how to i remove the option for members to upload files videos and sounds? i do not  mind videos and sounds as long as they are embed from other sites.  I just want to cut down on what is stored on the web server.

sounds are also uploaded on your server. only videos and photos have the embed option. You can uninstall the module you don't want from admin panel->tools->modules.

You can disable it via admin www.yoursitename.com/administration/nav_menu_compose.php look for Video and photos click photos and  Videos make it non visible to members and guest untick the square. 

Edit Item System Name:       Language Key:       Default Name:       URL:       Picture:       Icon:       Quick Link:       Target Window:   Same New     Visible for:   Guest Member

Save changes.

sounds, files, and videos are dependents of group and wall mods. i don't want to uninstall them. i have tried to make videos embed only but it does not work, you can still upload. i have also made them not visible in the nav menu already, that is not the problem. the problem is in groups and on the wall you can still use them. i have found the html and css code in the template module template folder but i am really not sure if i delete their functions that it would have effects on the rest of the site? or is it something i have to remove in the db table?

it would be much easier if the membership levels let me edit the default standard level. and i am still not sure it would work because the videos, files and sounds page can not be viewed but still upload on wall and in group pages.

You have to remove the integration manually from other modules. Or you can hide them also. You can remove the action buttons from sys_objects_actions table in DB and for wall i think some code needs to be changed or commented.

Mostly for now i want the wall done. no links to upload videos files or sounds

You can do this, just follow the steps.
