Erasing your Wemo Doorbell's currently stored recordings

If you have activated an iCloud® recording plan for your Wemo Smart Video Doorbell, WDC010, all recordings are stored for 10 days until they are automatically deleted.  The videos are stored via a secure and encrypted connection and are only viewable by members of your Home.  If you wish to delete all of the recorded videos, there are two options available.
 
NOTE:  Turning OFF iCloud recording for your doorbell does not immediately remove any stored videos.  The videos will remain until the 10 day deletion period is reached or you manually remove them.


How to Delete a Single Recorded Video Clip 

If you are running short on space or you want to remove a video clip from your timeline before the 10 days are up, you can do this using the Home app. 

 
Step 1:  Open the Apple® Home app and locate the tile for your Doorbell.

When you remove the Wemo Doorbell from your Home app, it also removes all recordings stored for it on iCloud.  After removing the doorbell from your Home, it will need to be factory restored to be set up again.
