The app has changed over the past 2.5 years. I’ll change the instructions in post to which you are replying. Tap Events icon at bottom of Wyze app home page > tap Edit (pencil icon upper right) > Select All > Delete

Yes, it’s a pencil icon now in top right corner of “Events.” It still does not delete all. It deletes only 21 events, then you have to manually try to scroll down multiple times for it to hopefully load more to be able to delete more than 21 at a time. Or, delete 21, then delete the next 21, then the next 21. It’s extraordinarily tedious. There is no option to delete all events for a day or multiple days at once. For some reason WYZE seems to want to make it difficult to delete all events at once or simply does not care or does not possess the fairly simple programing skills to modify the app in that way.

The current tedious process is described in Post #2. Give this wishlist topic a vote to help move it from an idea to development. Adding your idea to the wishlist topic also helps. Just cut and paste your Jan 24 post as a reply to this wishlist topic:

A follow-up thought is that the simplest way to fix the issue would be for the developers to change the delete function screen to load all the videos for the 24 hour period when reviewing the events as soon as you click on a particular day -instead of only loading 21 at a time. If it loaded all the events at once then you could simply select delete all. However, the fact that it loads only 21 events at a time means you have to keep scrolling and waiting and scrolling and waiting, etc, until all the clips load before you can click delete all in order to delete in one swoop.

I wholeheartedly agrees. Seems like a simple fix to filter by week, month, year to delete all events.
And then you will want an “UNDO” button to get back all the videos you deleted by mistake

Hi Genius,
If I wanted to view events later, I would back them up on my MicroSD!!
This is a software change. Nothing is simple, especially at Wyze. In the process they’ll break something else and you’d have to contend with months of App and firmware updates to “fix” what was not broken in the first place. If Wyze is going to fix anything I’d suggest the detection zones - which never worked for me.

Hello Einstein,
Wonderful idea in theory, but you can’t do that in Wyze - at least not without much frustration and suffering. You have to find that section of video on the SD card and then save that. Good luck with that.
I feel like I’m missing something here. I never delete anything. I just look at the ones I want to, filter however I need to see what I want. I’m not sure why I would need to delete anything. Someone please enlighten me. Thank you!
To delete all the past events on a camera:
1/ backup every event that you might want
2/ delete the camera app
3/ add the camera back onto the app
4/ go into the settings for the camera you just added and re-enter all the preferred settings. Including the name
You will now notice that all events have been deleted
Note: this is not simply selecting the ‘reset’ button in settings. Rather, this will do as best to a ‘factory reset’ as is possible.
Doing this will also refresh the electronics, especially after a software upgrade, and help the camera to operate more efficiently
I believe the above procedure might unlink the cloud videos from the reinstalled App so they are not visible. Wouldn’t the Event videos still be on the Wyze servers until they auto delete after 14 days? Just asking in case the OP’s goal is to immediately delete all videos from the Wyze servers or just not see them in the App.
Can’t believe that no one already highlighted this:-
This is a purposeful design feature to make deletions tedious. This is so that more data is available to fine tune for the detection algorithms and user profile marketing data. Check the fine print, you agree to allow your recordings to be used in any way they see fit.
Source: in the tech industry
Old data might still be in the cloud for 14 days but it keeps the events tab in the app a lot cleaner.
Remember to backup first

Wow what a total failure for an app. It’s cumbersome, awkward and lacking some very basic features. I only just found out how annoying it is to delete events. To have to scroll through a days worth of events and delete them is tedious, not to mention to have to do this for each day! So tedious, that I literally just bought cams from another manufacturer. Goodbye Wyze. Will be cancelling my service too.

So, to delete more than the 20, scroll down to the bottom, then select all.
However, this only works for the date you’ve selected. You have to do this for every day your Wyse has been active. This could take hours.
Wyse - can you actually implement a full Delete All?
I was looking for an answer to this, read the whole thread,
It seems you can go into events via the app then select all via the ‘pencil’ icon and delete all but as you say only for the date selected.
Yesterday, I had talked to tech support about deleting all events for one camera at once. She said to use the Funnel icon option next the pencil edit icon. Choose device, Show results (at the bottom), then pencil edit icon, then delete all.
Does that work for everyone?
No, it still only selects the events that are currently loaded, for e.g yesterday I had 25 events and I had to scroll down the page to see them all using your method I changed the date to today then changed it back to yesterday, to reload, hit the funnel icon, selected the camera, showed results, hit the pencil icon, selected all, it selected only the events currently loaded, the way it has always done it
This thread exemplifies the dysfunction at Wyze. I’m one of the first people who purchased Wyze cameras in 2018. Back then I noticed that I cannot delete ALL events and wrote a comment about it. Now, after 6 years, the deletion of events is still an issue. Can’t fix it, won’t fix it. Don’t care. We’re moving on to import other crap instead - kitchen faucet, door lock, vacuum cleaner, toys. Soon, a fusion reactor you can control via your Wyze App.
