Deleting old files

Recommended Posts

I decided to delete some old files from my Q-see system to hopefully free up some disk space. So I set the system up to only keep 10 days of files. After I did this I looked at the system to see what files were on there and able to replay, 10 days are still on there. So then I went and looked to see what amount of disk space I got back and from what the system is showing me, it didn't report back anything. I also rebooted the system to see if it would read differently, no change. So how do I get my disk space back?

Try format the hard drive. Depending on your bitrates and number of cameras 10 Days worth of files may be a lot of space, you mentioned you set it to keep only 10 days of files right?

Why dont you just set the drive to delete when its full....you dont have to manually delete files...

 

Yes I did end up setting it up to keep 10 days worth of video.
