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

Individual recordings already have a download button under ... menu. I would really appreciate having a delete button there as well.

Surely you now have enough votes to prioritise this request. We can manually delete the notifications, I dont see the issue here. Also note on the UK to gov website on domestic cctv 3.5 Storing the recorded information - you should not store any information or images for longer than is necessary to protect your property which means you should delete the information once it is no longer required. I can appreciate there is a workaround i.e. download the video's you need to keep then format the card. But please consider changing the app to incorporate a manual delete feature Kind regards

It would be really helpful to be able to select 1 or multiple recordings stored on the SD card to be deleted

Literally no good reason for this to not be a feature; its such an inconvenience to have to remove the microsd card to selectively delete videos on a separate platform.

Please make the ability to delete individual clips from the SD card available. Even my really old Blink cameras have this ability. I took my C425 down because of this. I forgot why so I put it back up yesterday and today realized why I took it down when I tried to delete clips. I really like tp link products and use many around the house. So frustrating to not have such a basic function!

@Phil-TC85 Yes, Yes, Yes!
Just set up my C410 camera, and spent ages trying to work out how to delete test recordings. Thought I was being thick...
Googled it... and what do you know, found this thread (and many more, over a thousand comments) which confirmed my worst fears - the ability to delete an individual recording is missing from the app.
Incredible! I have a number of other, similar devices, not TP-Link, and all of them allow deletion of individual local recordings.
I've usually been impressed with TP-Link products, but this has made me wonder.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO THE SENSIBLE THING - ADD THE ABILITY TO DELETE INDIVIDUAL RECORDINGS TO THE APP.
