Also, I notice all these residual .bvr files from years back still sitting in my folder that are 1KB in size. Not sure what those are and how they are being saved and not getting purged. Is it from "Include JPEGs on ALL CLIPS" setting?

I've got no ideas on why the files were created. I think the small size suggests a problem of some sort.
Suggestions:
Check if the old files are read-only (to keep an eye on this, I add the Attributes column to the folder view of all Blue-Iris managed folders).
If they are are read-only, then they are 'protected' from deletion. You can change all the files are once by ctrl-clicking each one, then right-click the set and toggle the attribute. Blue Iris will then remove the files during its routine database maintenance action, following the rules on the Settings > Storage tab.
If they are not read-only, then you can leave then as-is. They are not consuming significant disk space.
It's best not to manually delete files from Blue Iris managed-folders. This can corrupt the database.
If you still feel compelled to remove the files, be sure to Compact/Reindex the database BEFORE removing the files, then Repair/Regenerate the database AFTER.

First, apologies to the OP....didn't mean to highjack the thread.
I manually ran the "REPAIR DB" utility and all those old 1KB bvr files went away. Not sure why that is as I have it scheduled to run every Sunday and would have thought the weekly run would have taken care of them.

These settings made blue iris SO much better.. like way way better.
One last question to everyone, Please see the attached photo below:
Can some one help explain what this variable is for? The disk in this screenshot is a 16TB drive, I dont understand why it can only store less than 1TB of video and still be overallocated.
Can someone please help explain over allocation to me and what this digit has to do with it and why 16TB isnt enough?
