First check your settings to see how long you should be having
recordings stay in the Deleted group before they are actually expired.
You may have adjusted those settings at some point. Many people set
the time to a day, a week or a month, instead of the default which is
about 15-20 minutes. One possible option is to keep all deleted
recordings forever - they will then only be expired when you run out
of space on the drive they are stored on and need to start a recording
on that drive.
If your settings are such that the Deleted recordings should have been
expired by now, then try restarting mythbackend and then waiting for
more than 20 minutes. There was a bug a long time ago that could
cause mythbackend to not expire the deleted recordings. Maybe there
is a new one now.
If you really need to have them deleted now, you can go to the Deleted
group from the Change Filter option, and from there you can manually
delete the recordings. That moves them onto the "expire now" list,
and in a few minutes (depending on how many recordings there are to
expire), they will be actually expired. To delete all the recordings
in the Deleted group at once, from the left column use
M(enu) > Add this Group to playlist
to select all the Deleted recordings, then
M(enu) > Playlist Options > Delete
to expire them now.
Note that mythbackend processes the "expire now" queue carefully, so
as to not create too much disk activity that could upset in-progress
recordings or playback. So it only does one expire at once with a
short delay before the next one. The previous bug was causing this
processing to hang, and restarting mythbackend restarted the expire
queue processing.
