So I just got the C110 and am extremely disappointed to discover that there is no option to delete the many files that just got created on my sd card while setting it up. I see this has been an open issue for more than a year, now. Why hasn't this been implemented?

  @Solla-topee That is not an acceptable solution. The app should allow the ability to delete one/selected/all files. Many have cameras in places that are either located in another town or state, or in inconvenient places to access. Offering the solution of manually removing the SD card from the camera and needing a computer to delete files is a non-starter for many of TP-Link's customers. Not everyone has a computer these days. Many people have just their phones or perhaps tablets. Other camera companies provide this feature, so it shouldn't really be that hard to implement.

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

I've voted. Unbelievable this isn't possible. Sometimes you just want to delete one clip without doing a full format of the SD card. Can't help but feel this is an intentional omission as it's been a requested feature for over a year seemingly....

Add a deleted single recording option to the app. It's completely bizarre that there isn't one! Why would you choose to not allow this?

  @LagerHawk it's intentional of course. They want you to buy their cloud storage, so they restrict this feature deliberately as they know it's extremely irritating.

Please include the delete function. I was going to buy a TC85 camera (3-pack) until I read that I could not manually delete videos. Can't imagine how much business TP-Link has lost because of this.
