I saw some files that I *think* corresponded to a certain show, I deleted that show from within mythfrontend and looked and the files are still there. Maybe I'm mistaken and those files are for some different show. Any thoughts on how I can verify that files are getting deleted? After deleting the show from within mythfrontend and seeing that the files are still there, I ran 'find_orphans.py' and it didn't find anything, so maybe things are getting deleted and I'm just confused.

I ran mythtv-setup and looked in the Storage groups section and I didn't see anything in there about a deleted recordings group (there wasn't anything pre-defined like there is for Live TV et al). I could have created one, but I would guess that anything that has some built in functionality would have a pre-defined group for it. I also poked around in the fronted setup stuff and couldn't find anything there either. Is the deleted recordings group something that came about in 0.26? I'm running 0.25.3.

I forgot to mention that I also have 'Time to retain deleted recordings (days)' set to 0 so that deleted recordings should go away fairly quickly.
