Sd card delete old files

Im making a simple cam that works 24/7 and records 10 minutes video. Im tring to code something simple that deletes the oldest video file to make space for the new file. For example the card can hold 20 videos only so when it reaches 21 i want to delete video 1. Is there a function in the same library that deletes the oldest files or should i use numbers. Also if there is a video tutorial that will be extremely helpful. Thanks

Welcome to the forum

There is no such function as far as I know so you will need to program it yourself

You could keep the names of the last 20 files in an array used as a circular buffer which would allow you to know which is the oldest
