If you are running ext3/ext4 (not 100% on ext4) filesystem, then recordings can take an age to delete from disc. I used the stats page on mythweb to monitor the gradually increasing disc space when I removed a ton of recordings (just to make sure if was actually happening). Took literally hours for the recordings to delete and the disc space to be freed<br>
