How to delete recordings?

[Juste]

Found this Delete Recordings

Excuse my silly question:
Where and how do I look for them ?
From GUI ?
Via SSH ?

I seem to have tried all options with no luck.

Thanks,

I use SSH or you could use Filezilla if you a GUI look. Mine are located located:

/var/spool/asterisk/monitor

From there it has them in folders based ont the date. First being year, then month, then day i.e.

/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/2021/10/25

Thanks.

I found them. But how do you delete a specific file ?

[dicko]

Which one do you want to delete ?

[Juste]

Let’s say anything older than 90 days.

Thanks

[dicko]

find /var/spool/asterisk/monitor -mtime  +90 -delete
find /var/spool/asterisk/monitor -empty -type d -delete

[Juste]

Thanks.

The first one seems to work.

However, I have trouble using the second one.

Let’s say I want to delete just 1 day.
What would that look like ?

Thanks

The second one is just to tidy up empty directories the first ‘find’ might leave

rm -rf /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/2021/10/10 

would delete that directory along with all it’s content without asking for confirmation

Thanks for the explanation
