It may also still be helpful if we could see the your actual Blue Iris storage graph(s) and log entries as have been requested several times. They are both available via the 'Status' page which is displayed by clicking the icon circled below and located at the upper left hand corner of the Blue Iri...

Continued from previous response... My F drive showing it's just BI using it and nothing else. You can see the New folder has 5.3TB used but in BI I have it configured to use no more than 4.2TB. If I open up the F:\BlueIris\New folder the newest files are of course dated today and the oldest are dat...

I made some big changes and had to let it run for a long time and the same issue is happening again. I know because the BI app on my phone no longer shows "new" alerts for any cameras. They're all obviously old. I thought for sure this time I would have it beat because I am moving things b...

I asked earlier which folder on the left you clicked to see your F:\BlueIris\archive folder. Perhaps this is all being attempted using TreeSize and not via the Blue Iris structure, hence Blue Iris not having its own folder associations except 'New'? TreeSize just visualizes disk usage. Only BI can ...

"New" is highlighted in the screenshot. That is the folder that is selected.

I wonder if the default settings just don't work and I need to set it up to do all of this moving business. I do not need sophisticated at all. I just want the most recent that fits on my drive whatever that is. But now this has me thinking that it won't work right out of the box until you muck abou...

So you don't have a "NEW" folder, and everything goes straight into F://BlueIris/Archive ? The storage graph, and the text version of the LOG file should tell us what BI5 is doing here. For example, my PC shows: 0 01/01/2024 00:01:23.580 New Move: nothing to do [84/240 hrs, 708.8G/710.0G,...

I'm not sure I understand storage graph for a single drive with just BI on it. I just purged everything manually so it is an empty drive with just the standard BI folders on it. That is what I have to do almost monthly since BI isn't purging according to my settings. I don't understand the cascade q...

With no specification, how does 'delete' know what to delete? Having not needed to examine this before, I presume the default is simply 'oldest first'? That is my thoughts. Maybe I don't understand the design of BI. I have provided a screenshot so we know what my config is. If I must specify an age...

I have mine set to Delete with no Clip Age or Move and my system copes fine. To the OP is the F: drive a local installed drive or a network share? Also is there anything re deleting or failure to delete clips in the BI log file? Sorry for just catching up on this. The F drive is a local SATA drive ...
