"Permanently delete source video" does not delete videos

by Ghiizhar » Sun Sep 06, 2015 12:42 am

When I delete videos from the search screen using the "Permanently delete...." choice, several seconds per video elapses, but when process is complete, the records are removed from the search screen, but the video files are still in their folders.

I assume the folders should be empty after this operation, but that is not the case.

Hi Ghiizhar,

When you select a clip or clips and choose to permanently delete it is only deleting the video contained within that clip or clips. Other neighboring video will still be intact and managed based on your configured preferences for preserving video, so if you examine the data directories you will still see video from that day/hour/etc...

Best,
