The mvpmc (and mythtv) will fail to delete anything that it does not find the
underlying recording file. On some of the myth screen's it will prompt for
confirmation of deletion of an entry that it cannot find the file for, on mvpmc
it will just fail (you don't even have to reboot to get it back, just wait until
the next recordings update and it will be back).
In the recording menu "live recordings" are not normally shown, to get them
shown go into setup -> playback (several screens in) -> recording groups and
select "show livetv recordings using all programs". Then you should be able to
see it and delete it but it will likely not be able to find the file and ask for
confirmation.
