Is there a way to  bulk erase videos?

Are you wanting to bulk erase cloud recordings or the local base storage?

Also do you mean all recordings or chosen recordings?

Not the cloud. The recordings on my phone. The many shots of workmen going in & out.

If you have a subscription, then the recordings are in the cloud, and just played via the app.  Unless you are explicitly downloading them - in which case you delete then the same way you delete all downloaded files - exactly how depends on the OS running on your phone - iOS or Android.

 

Since they are in the cloud, they aren't taking any storage on your phone, so there is no need to delete them to save space.

Just to explain myself, the arlo app on the phone will let you view recordings that are stored on the arlo cloud server.

 

Are these the videos you want to bulk delete?

 

Or are you downloading the videos from the arlo cloud library to your phone and you want to bulk delete these from your phone photo library?

I guess I assumed they aren’t in the cloud, because I don’t have a subscription yet. I would love to bulk delete them off my iPhone.

 

Thanks for your patient responses.

They still might be in the cloud if the trial subscription has not expired yet.

 

If you have been downloading them to your iPhone they should be located in the iPhone photo library.

 

If your seeing thumbnails of the videos when using the arlo app when you selected the arlo library page then they are in the cloud.
