Hi. I use Zoom to record my podcasts. I only use the Zoom audio files, not the video files. I need to free up space on my hard drive. I have all audio files backed up on an external disk. If I delete the video files from my hard drive, will it mess anything up?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @bmusterman - welcome to the Zoom Community. To my knowledge, if you have already downloaded the recording, deleting the video files from your hard drive should not mess anything up. Zoom saves the audio and video as separate files. Since you have your audio backed up, you're good to go. Deleting the video files should be a safe way to free up hard drive space.
