Manual Deletion of Recycle Bin

[cyberjunkyfreak]

Please allow us this option.  

If the concern is that you want to protect a user's recordings, where an unauthorized user is looing to permanently delete "evidence", then perhaps you could incorportate a two-step verification to empty the recycle bin.  For example, use Google Authenticator on a user's mobile device that prompts for a code every time a user attempts to empty the recycle bin.

Thanks in advance for the consideration.

Option to delete Video files from the recycling bin.  Give the user an option to perform this.  I think this is a security issue if you cant delete files and someone logs into your system and see all 7 days of where the camera has recored..

 Please add this option in the next release of firmeware.

I agree 100% that there should be an option to delete video files from the recycle bin. This should be relatively easy to implement compared to some of the other ideas suggested.  Overall, I am happy with the performance of my two Arlo cameras, but not having the ability to instantly permanently delete my private recordings is a bit disappointing.

I was very surprised that there is no option to delete files permanently...scary. May have to take back...as this is a security issue.

I agree! I would like to be able to manually empty the recycle bin - Please consider this feature in the next code update!

I would go beyond the original request and state that this is a must!  The lack of the ability to manually delete contents of the recycle bin is a pretty compelling reason for my user persona to return my unit.  Embarasing life happens, the user should have the power to permanently erase these reminders.  Put in whatever security / authentication steps you feel are nessessary, but to ignore this use case would show lack of compassion to your customer base.

Used my camera for one week only and now I have 50 clips of my gardener mowing the lawn which I can't delete.... plus another 10 clips of the Garbage Collector, add to that clips of my family entering/leaving the driveway.... oh let’s not forget the 30+ clips of squirrels, cats and raccoons crossing the camera. Why would I want to keep all this? Unless Netgear has been granted unlimited disk space by the storage gods, then I too request to give legitimate users the option to permanently delete. Worse case scenario you can always restore clips if needed. Plus I download to my computer so I have a copy… In short -  dear product management please do give us cool security fans an option to permanetly delete from recycle bin.

Thank you – Sincerely, - an Arlot in Houston
