I've successfully configured the 24/7 recording and save the hourly videos on an external hard drive.

How can I make sure that the disk is not full, preventing new videos from being stored? Can I automatically delete videos that are older than 30 days?

If you are using My Screen Recorder Pro's scheduling system to create your recordings, you can use a simple command line to remove files older than x number of days from your PC before beginning the recording.

Here is an example command line to delete recorded WMV files over 30 days old from the E:\Recordings folder:

forfiles /p E:\Recordings /s /m *.wmv /d -30 /c "cmd /c del @file"

Change the E:\Recordings to the correct folder name where your recordings are stored.
