Deleting recording files

Post by stanzani »

As per subject, i read on the manual

You can play, copy, or download the recording files in the QVRProRecording/File folder. Note that the
recording files are read-only.
Warning
Modifying, moving, or deleting the files in the QVRProDB

So, I can safely delete recording files for the recording folder? I simply can't?

I tried in many ways but I can only delete the full recording space. I'd like to EMPTY it, instead ...

So are you saying you can't delete them in File Station.

I opened a case with Tech for this, the official answer is there is no way to delete the files manually in QVR, you can set to overwrite, that is it.

You didn't answer my question, are you saying the QVR folder is locked in FS for deletes?
I tested a file deletion and it worked.

My QVR Pro overwrite feature has never worked and stops recording when it reaches the threshold level. There is no way to manually clear the recording space so I have to delete the dedicated storage space for QVR and recreate. The space is then obviously empty and recording resumes.

This appears to have been a bug in QVR Pro for some time.

So you raised a ticket and Qnap confirmed the bug?
You definitely got enough space for the amount of recordings you want to keep before recycle?

Would think more people would be reporting this.
