Just as a follow up I ended up deleting the Camera Folders while ZoneMinder VM Was Turned Off and ZoneMinder recreated them again.
Setup my Filters to auto-delete anything older than 35 days. (End Date Less than or equal -35 day
Lots hope that this works and will report later if it worked or not.

Re: Delete Videos to reduce Disk Space Usage

Just run again with rm when happy with what it is about to remove. Thanks for your reply. I do not...
