[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1227049, member: 141969"] Some points: (1) It is possible to modify the skin to make "Yes" the default for the "Yes/No" dialogue, in place of "No". The old "DefaultWide" skin used to have "Yes" as the default (many releases ago), but it was changed at some point to "No". On my system, I have modified "DefaultWide" to change the default back to "Yes". With this change, the sequence to delete a recording is: press "0", then press OK. (2) Using "TV Server" to clean-up deleted recordings is the wrong way to do this. As you have found, there is no batch facility for deleting all of the files at once. Instead, you should use the "Clean-up" facility on the "Recorded TV" or "Recorded Radio" panels in MP. Press LEFT to view the left side menu, and then select "Clean-up". You then get a warning pop-up saying that MP will delete the entire universe, but you can ignore that and continue to the [i]next[/i] pop-up which is a selection menu allowing you to choose what you want to clean up. (3) If you periodically move recordings from "Recorded TV" to "Videos", you can place the files in a folder tree that reflects the nature of the recordings (e.g. one folder for each series). Then when navigating the folder tree, you can move the focus to the entry for the [i]folder[/i] to be deleted and press "0", then OK. That will delete the entire folder plus all of its contents. (4) I agree that it should be possible to delete the "virtual folders" that are used in "Recorded TV" and "Recorded Radio", using the same sequence of actions as are used in "Videos". -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
