For example, if I recorded something on December 27 at 1pm then it looks like I get some files that have names like this: <some number>_20121227130000.<don't care>. If I delete that recording via mythweb, then when I look at the directory, I still see the files there. Also, according to the backend status page, the directory hasn't reduced in size.

I had to do some hand mods to some of the php code due to php errors (this appears to be a known issue with PHP 5.4 based on googling around) so maybe something in there messed something up? Anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions?

The idea is that when you delte something, you've a few days to change your mind. Deleted recordings are moved to a Delted Recordings group and only physically removed when the keep-time expires or some disk space is needed (I think they are removed in preference to auto-expiring other recordings).

Where would the option be? Is it a myth web option or some option in the front/backend?
