Recorded Clips Disappearing

So it is an overallocation - you have assigned more storage to BI than is physically capable.
OK - leave the C drive to just Windows, Blue Iris, and the DB.
Move all the video to the D drive. Allocate 1800GB to it and leave the remainder available for the temp files.
So make a folder called NEW on the D drive and put all the video in that folder. Tell it to delete as the drive gets full - do not do it on # days. Then do not use storage and make that 0.
After you do that, reboot the computer and then select repair DB and that should take care of it. If it doesn't, then you will have to delete the DB folder and let it rebuild.
The yellow caution triangles are not a big deal. Cam 11 lost signal for a moment and Cam3 is pulling ONVIF triggers - not really an error.

Okay, I changed everything to “when triggered” and “New”. The red circle with x is no longer showing. I only have 1 green triangle showing on cam3 “Events: subscription 00002efd” keeps coming up. Looking better. Next will be working on spotter cams. Thanks for all the help

It's best to duplicate the Blue Iris directory structure, BI expects to see that
Directory Blue Iris
Sub Directory New
Sub Directory Alerts
And so on.
Directory Blue Iris
Sub Directory New
Sub Directory Alerts
And so on.
The events subscription isn't really an error. Don't worry about that.
So, what your saying is on the D: drive It needs to have folders “BlueIris w/subs New, Alerts, Clips, Log, Stored? Just like on C: drive? And can I delete all the files in C: drive under BlueIris folder except DB?

Yes, basically. You don't need the full directory structure just the ones related to video clips. Be aware that New, Alerts and Stored (I believe Stored) need to be those names exactly. The "aux" directories can be renamed but you need to do that from inside Blue Iris on the tab where you allocate space for them. Leave everything else, log, database and program on the C drive.

I’m sure I read in the help file that Alerts is a special system entry and should not be renamed?
Well, the machine seems to be happy. Although, I still don’t thank I have may files proper. And I initially renamed some file names. Now I can’t get rid of them. I took a little of everyone’s suggestions. Thanks!

Renaming files means BI won't touch them since they don't exist in the database. Best to run a repair/regenerate then manually delete them.
