I tried Reolink and its exactly the same, you cannot delete from the SD Card. Unless someone knows otherwise?

@Solla-topee your previous answer is unacceptable. I own two Tapo C225 cameras mounted on the ceiling in a hard place to reach without a ladder. Also I own a Tapo C520WS which is mounted outside at more than 4 meters height. This camera has a plastic cover over the sd card that is fixed with two screws.

Do you think that I have time to lose in order to find a ladder in order to reach the cameras, retrieve the SD Card, insert that card in a computer, identify the file(s) to delete and then do the reverse steps to put back the SD card in the camera? 

A delete feature is a must! Please inform ASAP the technical department about this.

Hi, 
Currently, the Tapo camera does not have the feature to delete the video recordings from the SD card manually via the Tapo app, and if the Loop Recording feature on the microSD card page is turned on, the new recordings will overwrite the oldest one when storage is not enough. If you need to delete the video recordings before the SD card is full, you can remove the SD card from the camera, connect it to a PC via an SD card adapter, and then delete the video recordings on the PC.

Best Regards
