It is normal when you have OPT_FAST_DELETE under the system options checked.

OPT_FAST_DELETE tell's zoneminder to simply delete the database records of an event when you delete them in the WebUI. The ZMAUDIT daemon in the background will periodically check for event folders of events that have been deleted and delete them.

You should see the events deleted off the disk eventually.

Does it applies to version 1.22.3? Because every momth i have to delete manually events older than 20 days where my hard disk size will not hold more than 7 days.
I has seen it in more than one installation. I thought it was due to database crash once i a while.

Hello,

I un-checked OPT_FAST_DELETE and restarted the server but it stays the same.
When deleting events, it's only in the GUI that the record is deleted and the files stay on the server.
bug ?
