If you are having trouble deleting old recordings, there could be several reasons why this is happening. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check the file permissions: Make sure that you have the necessary permissions to delete the file. If you are using a Windows PC, right-click on the file and select "Properties". Go to the "Security" tab and make sure that your user account has the "Full control" permission. If you are using a Mac, right-click on the file and select "Get Info". Go to the "Sharing & Permissions" section and make sure that you have the necessary permissions to delete the file.
  2. Check if the file is in use: Sometimes, a file may be in use by another program or application, which could prevent you from deleting it. Try closing any programs that may be using the file and then try deleting it again.
  3. Try deleting the file in Safe Mode: Boot your computer into Safe Mode and then try deleting the file. To enter Safe Mode, restart your computer and repeatedly press the F8 key until you see the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select "Safe Mode" and press Enter.
  4. Use a third-party file deletion tool: If none of the above steps work, you can try using a third-party file deletion tool such as CCleaner, Unlocker, or Eraser. These tools are designed to help you delete stubborn files that cannot be deleted through the normal means.

If none of these steps work, you may need to seek assistance from a technical support professional to help you resolve the issue.
