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?

It then seems to actually get deleted a bit later (something like an hour later, but I've not measured).  I assume this is so that you have a window to recover it if you've deleted it accidentally.

Yeah, I checked, that delete-slowly option is on like page 3 under "General" in the mythtv-backend-setup.
