How to delete a recording

I have a recording in My Shows which should not be there.

When you enter it there is no Delete option, there is a keep until option which is set to keep until I delete, also has keep through Thursday 1st June which even when I change reverts to 1st June.

On the right hand side it gives details of the content, date & time of recording, 2 hrs and message "someone in your household deleted it"

Attempting to play the recording gives a message box stating "Error playing a recording"

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: How to delete a recording

On the list of shows press the C key in the bottom left of the remote. That should delete it. It will also let you delete a folder of shows.

Thanks for the reply, I just tried it but unfortunately all it did was move the cursor down a line in the list of shows.

Re: How to delete a recording

There's a bug that's preventing users from deleting recordings. The only way that I've found to make it go away is to do a reboot.

C

Do you mean a standard reboot or wiping the hard disk?

Switch the box off then on again.

By pulling the plug out and waiting 30 seconds before plugging in again is best, I find.

Just a standard reboot resolves it for me.

I found that the programme that wouldn't​ delete yesterday was in both My Shows and Deleted Recordings, so I'm not sure if this means the programme was taking up disc space or not!
