As per subject. Just noticed this. After deleting my movies in the browser Security Spy is leaving the folders intact. I have three cameras and dozens of empty folders for all the captured files going back to early dec 2015 ? What's going on

  • Hi Peter - empty folders will be automatically deleted if you are using SecuritySpy's features to delete old files (either of the first two "Auto-remove" options in the Preferences window). How frequently this will occur depends on how often SecuritySpy has to delete files to satisfy the auto-deletion criteria (which depends on a few factors). But as long as you are using these options, the empty folders will be deleted - eventually.
  • HMM I'm not using any of the two auto remove options, I don't like that feature. will it do any harm to manually remove all these empty folders
  • It won't do any harm for you to remove the empty folders manually, if you don't want to use the auto-delete options.
