Recordings Disabled, Quota reached

[BABALUCHA]

Hello Team
i have the customer set to delete after 30 days of recordings automatically but i see that it is disabled now, i see that system did delete the older than 30 days of recordings but i because of the call volume system has reached the allowed 15GB of storage and now have disabled the recoding which is expected, so the system did its job but now customer is not going to have recordings unitll there is more space or system finds older recordings than 30 days and delete and hopefully creates enough space but all that said is there a way to dump it quickly right away and delete anything older 10 days and free up the space right away ..? customer really need the recent recordings so i would like to quickly delete bunch of recordings and free up the space.thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
If recordings older than 10 days are not important to you and you are aware that it will not be possible to recover them, you may proceed using the "hard" method.

Log in via SSH to your 3CX environment (Linux).

Execute the following command:

sudo find /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Recordings/ -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;

Assuming they are in the default directory.

This will delete all recordings older than 10 days. This command is unforgiving; if you use it, the action is irreversible. 3CX will not be able to help you recover the deleted recordings.

Proceed at your own risk.
