[QUOTE="z3gator, post: 720691, member: 19150"] A generic error message (something like "Could not delete file {0}") is displayed, but no reason is given for the failure. Having looked at the code (DBEpisode.cs, I think it was) I suspect that the message is being emitted without having actually tried to delete the file, as it first tries to lock the file. I fear that the problem may be due to the fact that I use BeyondTV as my recording engine and only watch episodes in the (much nicer!) MP TV-Series. BeyondTV locks the directory hierarchy and I wonder if that's what's causing the delete message. I can delete the file manually (e.g. using windows explorer), but obviously that is tedious and difficult to remember to do at a later time. I'd also swear that I used to be able to successfully delete files from the GUI. Then it seemed I encountered an occasional failure, but now it fails consistently, every time I try to delete an episode I just watched. [/QUOTE]
