i find that to play video files using mediaelement, we need to set the file’s Copy To Ouput Directory to Copy Always. is there any option to auto delete the file from the output directory after it has been used? because if there’s hundreds of video that has been played by the application, then it will take a massive amount of storage, right? because from what i seen, this copy to ouput directory will create the duplicate of the files, from it’s original source path. please enlighten me

    You do not need to copy the files to the output directory, you can set the source as follows:

    mediaElement.Source = new Uri (System.IO.Path.Combine(dirWithVids, fileName) 
                               ,UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)
