Can't delete videos anymore

I've had my doorbell camera for a couple months. For a while I had the option to delete videos from my device. I no longer have that option, and I have hundreds of videos on my feed. The only option I can find only allows deleting one video at a time. Can someone explain this to me?

While I recommend never deleting videos since you may want one back (and they will be deleted automatically later), I find that at least on the Android app use of portrait mode gives you a menu (3 dots) that allows you to delete a video.

I know I can delete 1 video at a time. When you have hundreds, that would take forever! I guess my main question is... are these videos stored on my phone? If not, I won't worry about it.

Cloud recordings are always in the cloud unless you happen to download them. Same with local recordings if you have that set up.
