Daisy keeps the raw audio for your meetings in your profile folder on disk, alongside a compact stereo meeting.opus archive for each session — your microphone on one channel, the system audio (everyone else) on the other. The archive sticks around even when you reclaim space, so you can re-transcribe or re-label the speakers on an old meeting later (best-effort, from the compressed copy).

From Settings → Recordings, you can see how much space your recordings use and reclaim some of it without losing your transcripts, summaries, or notes.

Check your storage

Open Settings and select Recordings. The summary at the top shows the number of recordings, how much space the WAV files use, how much Opus audio you have (if any), and how many recordings are eligible to clear.

Compress all recordings to Opus

Compressing converts your audio to Opus, a phone-quality voice format that is much smaller than the original WAV files.

  1. Choose a Bitrate between 16 and 48 kbps. The default is 24 kbps.
  2. Select Compress all.

A progress meter shows how far along the job is. Already-compressed files are skipped.

Good to know: After compression, the original WAVs are deleted only for meetings that have already been transcribed, so they can't be re-transcribed. Meetings that haven't been transcribed yet keep their WAVs.

Clear transcribed or orphaned recordings

This danger-zone option deletes raw audio only — your transcripts, summaries, notes, and the meeting records are always kept.

  1. Under Clear transcribed / orphaned recordings, select the clear button.
  2. Read how many recordings will be affected and roughly how much space you'll free.
  3. Type DELETE to confirm, then select the confirm button.

It removes the bulky raw WAVs for meetings that have already been transcribed, or that have no Library entry. The compact stereo meeting.opus archive is kept — so you can still re-transcribe or re-label the speakers on the meeting later from the compressed copy, best-effort.

Good to know: Clearing audio can't be undone. WAVs for meetings that haven't been transcribed yet are never touched, so you won't lose anything still waiting to be processed. To remove a single meeting entirely (including the Opus archive), see "Deleting a meeting".
