Freshcaller records your calls based on your number settings. Usually, calls are recorded if your account has the call recording option enabled.

The Bulk Delete Recording app is an internal Marketplace app that allows you to delete multiple call recordings at once from your account. You can find this app under the Apps section in your account.


The app allows you to delete call recordings that are older than 30 days, 60 days, or from the beginning. You can also set custom dates to delete recordings. In addition, you can configure recurring rules and schedule specific time periods and frequencies for deleting the recordings. 


Note: Once you delete the call recordings, they are deleted forever. Hence, it is recommended to downlaod the recordings before you delete for future reference.


User Requirements: Only supervisors, admins, and account admins can use the app to bulk delete call recordings.
