I dont belive that this deletes on the dji servers, even when they say this.
Also when you are in an blue zone and request authorisation you are forced to snc the data and at time thers no law in many countries for that. So why ?
Each time you turn on the bird it creates a flight record, even if you don't actually fly. If you turn on the bird to update firmware, download a video, adjust defaults, etc., a flight record is created. This means over time you can wind up with lots of "1 minute" flights, or flights where the only movement is the GPS location jumping around. I always delete these sorts of records to eliminate the clutter. When I sync my records, they are no longer included. I setup a new tablet just this afternoon. Being a new install, it contained no flight records. After syncing, my flight records are there, but the deleted records do not appear.
Does this actually delete them from the DJI servers? I can't say for certain. I'm sure it doesn't delete them from the onboard flight records stored within the bird itself. But, for me at least, it gets rid of the annoying "non-records" & they no longer appear. If you want total anonymity, the best bet is not to sync your records at all, or create a stealth account that isn't directly linked to you.
For many years I have requested, to no avail, that DJI provide an option in the Assistant program to "Sync Internal Flight Records". Why? Because for me the majority of my flights are Waypoint flights flown with the Litchi app. Flight records from third-party apps are not linked to our accounts, but the flight data from every mission is stored within every DJI aircraft. I'd love to know how many miles my birds have really flown. However many feet my record shows here, there are far more flown with Litchi. |
