To delete VICIDIAL recordings

 To delete VICIDIAL recordings that are older than 2 months using a command-line approach, you can use the following steps:

**Note:** Make sure you have the necessary permissions to perform this operation, and always back up your data before proceeding.

1. Access the Server:

   - Log in to the server where VICIDIAL is installed.

2. Navigate to the Recording Directory:

   - Use the `cd` command to navigate to the directory where VICIDIAL recordings are stored. By default, this is often located in `/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/` on Linux systems.

3. List Recordings:

   - You can list the recordings in the directory to confirm which ones you want to delete. Use the `ls` command:

     ```

     ls

     ```

4. Delete Recordings Older Than 2 Months:

   - You can use the `find` command along with `rm` to delete recordings that are older than 2 months. Here's an example command:

     ```

     find . -type f -name "*.mp3" -mtime +60 -exec rm {} \;

     ```

     - `find .`: Start searching in the current directory and its subdirectories.

     - `-type f`: Search for files (recordings).

     - `-name "*.mp3"`: Match files with the `.mp3` extension (adjust this if your recordings have a different extension).

     - `-mtime +60`: Find files modified more than 60 days ago (2 months).

     - `-exec rm {} \;`: Execute the `rm` (remove) command for each found file.

5. Confirmation:

   - After running the command, you can list the recordings again to verify that the older ones have been deleted.

Please exercise caution when using the `rm` command, as it permanently deletes files. Ensure you have adequate backups and that you are authorized to delete these recordings, as they may contain sensitive data.
