Recently one of my cameras, "LowerGarden" stopped responding in BI. No recordings, and snow in the live view. No amount of camera reboots, camera restarts, or BI restarts would fix it, despite the camera's web server showed a healthy stream, as did VLC.

So I opened exported its settings in BI, created a new camera, imported its settings as LowerGarden2, and that worked immediately.

But now I can't delete the original LowerGarden from BI. When I choose Delete Camera, no matter which of the 4 options I choose:

BI thinks about it for 30 seconds, and then reports,

And then I can no longer choose Camera Settings for this camera, because it's grayed out. And I can't even quit BI normally. I get a spinning cursor forever, and I have to kill it with Task Manager.

Once I relaunch it I can choose Camera Settings again, but I still can't delete it.

Should I just delete it from all groups and then delete its registry entry at:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris\Cameras\LowerGarden

Would that leave any detritus laying around?
 
The registry is where the camera info is stored, if you delete the key the camera will be gone from BI, just make sure that you exit BI and shut down the service first before you delete the registry key for the problem camera!
 
Also, I'm thinkin it might have had trouble deleting a Plugged in Camera? Something to try anyway.
