Manually deleting video from SD card

#microSD card
Just set up TC85 cameras and have them successfully recording events to the SD card. Is there a way to manually delete unwanted videos from the card using the App? Or does the until keep recording/storing files until full, then begins to overwrite the oldest one first without any way to do manual cleanup?
TIA
Phil

It would be a great feature the possibility to delete manually the videos from the MicroSD since the app

Please add the feature to manually delete files from the SD card into the app.

We are using the Tapo app for security cameras such as C200C and TC70. I hope there's a way to delete individual event clips manually on the app playback. Thank you.

Incredibly annoying to not have a delete option. The whole point of the devices is for security and privacy. Privacy includes *not* having recordings of things that should be private or confidential. Deleting is an expected and required feature so please consider adding this as a priority. I personally cannot justify buying more Tapo products or a subscription without this functionality. The products are excellent aside from this.

Please add this, at least at a whole day level but preferably for individual clips as well!

Please add delete option to individual videos. This is totally unacceptable as my cameras are 10 feet in the air.

I specifically bought the Tapo C425 because it didn't require a subscription. But now that I have used it this basic feature to delete unwanted files is only available within the app if I subscribe. This seems like a bit of bait-and-switch and is really sneaky. Really disappointed and will think twice before buying another Tapo product unless this basic feature to delete files stored on my SD card within the Tapo app is added.
