If you’re using the S3 Upload module from Wowza then there’s a property called **s3UploadDeleteOriginalFiles** ([https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-upload-recorded-media-to-an-amazon-s3-bucket-modules3upload#properties](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-upload-recorded-media-to-an-amazon-s3-bucket-modules3upload#properties))
