  4. Tap to select the recording you wish to delete.

    • On Android smartphones or tablets, tap the Pencil icon (FLIR FX app: Pencil App) to delete multiple events as needed.
    • For iOS (Apple) smartphones or tablets, swipe left to access the Delete option, or tap the Edit icon (Edit icon) and tap the Red Minus icon (Minus).
  5. Tap the Delete icon (Trashcan icon) to delete.

REMINDER: Due to the timing of the event list refreshes and the uploading of new recordings it can require more than one attempt to successfully delete recordings from the FLIR Cloud.

A PC / Mac must be used to delete Manual recordings, Manual Photos / Snapshots, Dashcam recordings, and Automatic recording files in the Cloud buffer folder stored on the microSD card.

To delete recordings directly from the microSD card (included):

  1. Connect the FLIR FX camera to your PC / Mac using a micro USB cable or insert the microSD card into a connected microSD port / adapter.
  2. Browse to the drive created by the card.
  3. Open the folder corresponding to the type of recording you wish to manage.
  4. Delete individual files as needed.
