Applies to: All cameras that have the SD card slot

 If you find the videos are not deleted after resetting/restoring, please note that this is normal. Because resetting/restoring only sets some or all settings to default but doesn’t delete videos in the SD card.

 

To delete certain videos in the SD card, please remove the SD card from the camera and delete on a computer.

To delete all the videos in the SD card, please refer to these articles:

Check/Format Micro SD Card via Reolink App 

Check/Format Micro SD Card via Web Browser

Check/Format Micro SD Card via Reolink Client

To delete all the videos in the HDD, please refer to this article: How to Format HDD
