Where are event clips

[HomeAssistbs]

I am a Home Assistant/Frigate novice but have successfully set-up four cameras frigate. The software is excellent but I have a couple of issues that I am trying to resolve. I am using frigate v 0.14.1 as a HACS Add-on.
1 When frigate detects an object it creates a clip which I can review in the frigate UI but I cannot see them in the HA Media browser. I have found:
• snapshots and cropped snapshots are stored within /usr/media/frigate/clips/
• One hour previews are stored within /usr/media/frigate/clips/previews/
• Thumbnails are stored within /usr/media/frigate/clips/review/
• Recordings are stored within /usr/media/frigate/recordings/
but cannot track down event clips.
2 Although I think that I have the retention periods correctly defines for record, event, object and snapshot, no files are being deleted and therefore the storage is being eaten up
Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

there is no such thing as event clips, it just shows recordings muxed together via HLS

NickM-27 thanks for the reply. That is what I was thinking (though I don't know what HLS is). However I am still left with the issue that the only things that get deleted are the muxed videos but the files remain in place and just accumulate without end. Do I need to clear these out by hand or a script both of which seem inelegant

What you're saying doesn't make sense. The muxed videos are never saved anywhere, they are streamed directly. All of frigates files are maintained automatically. Realistically you should create a support discussion on the main frigate repo.

I understand that it doesn't make sense which is why I am trying to find out what has gone wrong in my setup. The fact of the matter is that files are not being deleted in accordance with the retention settings which has resulted in there being 200 GB of frigate files
