In VSMS server, how can delete recording from storage? and can delete some of recording, like 1 hour from all recording or 1 day?

Hello mshah,

This is not recommended at all to delete recording files manually or for certain durations since every files has reference id created which are being associated to cameras.Deleting files in such can cause issue to the server.

What is the reason behind deleting those files from server?

I'll admit that I have done something similar previously in VSM 6.X solutions without any noted ill effects, but have yet to do any "out-of-support-scope" experiments or reverse engineering of VSM 7.X.  It may very well be that individual video files are now indexed and tracked via the DB backend now, and manually removing them could certainly cause problems.
