Can't delete some clips

[Daffy]

Did a search for it and came up dry.

Been using BI for some time and with one of the last few updates (not sure how long ago.. 2 maybe 4 ago) I started having clips that cant be deleted, red border around them and when I try to delete them "Could not delete(number of items), May be protected or in use."

Well I tryed to protect them and then unprotect them to no avail, they sure aren't in use by me directly.. Most of the time if I come back to the puter the next morning they are white bordered and can be deleted. All seems to be random so far, at least I can't nail down a pattern or a cause.

Anybody else experience this?

No I haven't contacted tech support, as it is just at this point a minor annoyance.

Hey, your issue is most likely occurring because the clip is not finished writing...what are your settings for combine and cut?

8 hours / 4.5g, Default I presume, don't recall messing with the settings.. But I am getting old..

Ok, so you cannot delete it until the 8 hours/4.5gb are up or until you right click on the camera select properties then just hit ok, or disable/reenable the camera (this way the camera recording stops)...generally you should not need to manually delete anything...

Get that, I would think it would be the same for all clips not just some select ones..

Yeah I tend to keep house on my drives.... Old habits are hard to break! I remember getting my first 20mb drive and wondering what in the world will I do with all this space!! eaceful:

With respect to the other clipsthat you can delete, they me be on a different 8 hour schedule...
As far as old habits, i get it...you should consider that you may accidentally delete something that you need...its more efficient for blue iris to do this when the space is needed...
