What can I do if my VI system keeps showing Low Disk Space Warning on Windows?

  • Video Insight VMS
  • Troubleshooting

Recorded video on VI does not appear to be deleting automatically to clear disk space, or the CleanDrive function is not executing fast enough. It runs only once per day.

Consider enabling the [Use advanced disk cleanup routine] under VI’s Recording Options. The Advanced Clean Drive function will execute several times a day to ensure there is sufficient space for video storage.

Enable the [Use advanced disk cleanup routine]

  1. Open the menu [Administration] → [Servers] → [Server Setup] → [Configuration] tab
  2. Under the Recording Options section, enable/select [Use advanced disk cleanup routine]
    NOTE: If you do not have this option, consider updating VI to a newer software version
  3. Save and restart VI’s IP Server and VI Monitor Plus
