Before you delete your camera’s video history, here are a few things you should know:

When you delete camera history, it will delete all of its video history in the app. It won’t delete individual clips you saved.
You can delete all history for specific cameras, but you can’t delete individual or specific types of camera events.
You can also delete camera history in the Nest app. If your camera is in both apps, erasing camera history from one app will also erase it from the other.

Important: Before you erase your camera’s video history, save and download video clips that you want to keep.

You may be able to delete other events depending on the type.
