You can also specify a time-based deletion for a video. This means that the video will be automatically moved to the trash at a specific date and time.

To specify a time-based deletion, follow these steps:

• If you want to remove an existing deletion date, click the [Delete] button.

The Trash

The trash contains all video files that have been removed via the "delete" function in the video toolbar.

Files are automatically deleted permanently after 30 days by default.

Before the true deletion deadline, you can restore videos or permanently delete them.

To restore a video from the trash, open the context menu of the video and select Restore.

To permanently delete a video from the trash, open the context menu of the video and select Delete permanently.
