Blue Iris clips and archiving

[Freubel]

Hey,
So i'm under the impression that i have now set up 24/7 recording and storage for 17 days.
However - if i look at the status screen Blue Iris is telling me that it is deleting something even though there is enough space for storage and it has just been 6 days since it was set to record 24/7.
What am i missing and what is being deleted ?

The status board:



The storage:




Clips and archiving settings:



And clips and archiving page 2:

Nobody with an answer ?

Where do you see that it's deleting something? Your screenshot shows that it checked to see if anything should be deleted and found "nothing to do" at that time. If it were to delete files, you'd see a similar entry that would show the number of files deleted.

Also, I suggest for "New" you uncheck "Limit Clip Age."

BTW, your "Stored" as set up has no purpose; nothing is ever sent to it (unless that's what you want).

Ok, so i guess i'm reading it the wrong way then. I thought it was actually deleting files but it's more like "command delete - nothing to do"
Thanks !

If i don't check limit clip age wouldn't that mean it would just keep recording untill the hard drive is full ?
About the Stored, i know, but i must fill in something, if i leave it blank i get an error.

No, when it exceeds 3400GB it will delete them, according to your first screenshot.
