Under Consideration Manually deleting video from SD 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

Good news, I can delete records from SD card on my new c260 camera so maybe all of them soon will be updated.

@Phil-TC85 Very disappointed that this function is not available. This should be a no brainer.

I can't believe this is still under consideration from first being logged in 2023, surely by now this feature should be included, or is this a ploy to make money by making people move to a subscription. I expect the individual delete function for a clip in the cloud was to keep costs down.
We are able to manually delete notifications, please include the same into the app for the video's.
Also our uk gov website provides guidance for domestic cctv.
3.5 Storing the recorded information
Ensure you bear the following in mind when storing the information you record on your CCTV system:
you should make sure that the date and time on your system are accurate
it is important to check that you have enough recording space
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
you should make sure that the information recorded is used only for the purpose for which your system was installed (for example it will not be appropriate to share any recordings on social media sites)
you must keep the recordings secure and keep access to them to a minimum (remember that you are responsible for what happens with the information)
in certain circumstances, the information you record may be used as evidence by the police in an investigation (therefore, if you are not sure, it is important to check with your installer or local police authority that the information you record can be used for this purpose when required)
Therefore please include a delete function.

As far as I can see, this topic has the 2nd highest number of votes in the feature request forum...
But still no action.
Is there anyone from Tapo who will comment?

I would also like to see the deletion function implemented from the app, without having to format the micro SD card.
