Belle, wandered down the corridors at the Bridge as she filmed all of Silva's belongings left out in the hallway.
Photos of Silva lifting the Fifa Club World Cup and posing with family on the Stamford Bridge pitch had been removed from the room and left propped up against the wall.
And Belle sounded emotional in the video which she posted alongside the caption: "End of an era".
The exclusive Chelsea box ordinarily costs a cool £91,000 per person.

Typically, a private box at Stamford Bridge includes luxury padded seating on a balcony directly outside the box, while there are also a broad range of refreshments on offer.
This ranges from champagne handed out upon arrival, to a complimentary bar featuring beer, wine and spirits pre-match, half-time and post-match.
The sample menu for the boxes feature 35 items, ranging from British Charcuterie and Tiger Prawns for starters, ChalkStream Farmed Trout and Lamb Tagine for mains and Chocolate Sponge and Rosary Goat cheese for a sweet treat.
There are also select food items available at half-time and full-time, such as Smoked Salmon and Horseradish Crème Fraîche at the halfway point and a Chicken Tikka Pie at the final whistle.

Unfortunately, no football kits can be worn in the boxes, with a smart casual dress code in operation.
Silva left Chelsea this summer on the expiration of his contract with the Brazilian racking up over 150 appearances for the club.

The veteran defender helped the Blues win the Champions League, Club World Cup and the Uefa Supercup during his stint with the club.
Silva has now re-joined former club Fluminense on a free transfer, returning to Brazil for the first time since he left for AC Milan in 2009.
The 113-time Brazil international has already featured six times for the South Americans this term and is settled back at his boyhood outfit.
Silva's final few months at Chelsea were scattered with intermittent controversy, some of which was fuelled by wife Belle's social media rants.

Belle appeared to take aim at Chelsea's 5-0 defeat to London rivals Arsenal in April, while she had also previously seemed to call for then-boss Mauricio Pochettino to be sacked.
Following a 4-2 defeat to Wolves, the 37-year-old posted on X: "It's time to change. If you wait any longer it will be too late."
However, Belle was quick to offer up a grovelling apology for her online outburst after her post had led to Thiago Silva having an awkward meeting with Pochettino at the club's Cobham training ground.
Belle, who married Silva in 2005, said: "I’m sorry that my personal outburst as a passionate Chelsea fan has caused such an impact.
