Android app bulk delete recordings ?

[stewart45]

correct me if i'm wrong but did the old app have the select all function to delete more than one recording at a time similar to the PC version, or have I just not found it, ore was it never there and I imagined it

Its there just different...

In Android, go to library

push on a clip , it will turn green (?) or have a check mark on it.

once you do this , two small boxes appear in the upper right of screen.

One solid dots, one hollow dots.

Solid dots select ALL

Hollow dots Un Select all

The old app allowed you to delete all photos for all cameras. Is there a way to do that on the current app? All I can do now is delete all for one day for one camera at a time so if I have a weeks worth with 3 cameras I have to do it 21 times.

Go to the library (don't use a filter such as clicking on the number associated with a camera in the Cameras tab) and log press on a video while using the app or use the Select button at the top right when using a browser.  You can then select multiple videos to act upon.

Your description does not follow what my phone shows.

WHen I push on a clip, it does turn green brielfy, then enlarges.

But there are no small boxes in the upper right of screen.

Once the clip is "selected" it takes up the entire screen .

Maybe the android version matters?  I'm running 4.3 on a galaxy S3

Please update so we can also delete ALL videos with one touch.  I see this feature on my PC and usuallly end up logging onto my PC to do this.

The OS version may make a difference but I haven't found it so in the past.  Here's a screenshot of mine:

Note the boxes circled at the top - empty means deselect all, green-filled means select all.  To get there you must long press on one video until it has a green selection box around it with a checkmark in the upper right corner of the video.  You can then select multiples manually or all at once using the Select All box.

These days, I don't recommend deleting anything since there's no way to recover them once deleted.
