Another option is - provide 3 checkboxes "Allow deletion from context menu" in Configuration - separately for MyVideo, MyMusic & MyPhotos
EXCELLENT IDEA! Why didn't I think of that

You take the time to edit the recordings on your main PC and then transfer them to your HTPC (over the network I guess) but you find it takes too much time to delete it through the network from your main PC, or through the file menu on HTPC?The fact that video files may not be created within MP to me is totally irrelevant to the method of deleting said files.
I record TV programs on my main PC, edit the adverts out using a proper video editing program, then transfer the edited file to my HTPC. And after watching one of these programs, I normally delete it immediately.
As mentioned above, I do not use a a keyboard or remote control to operate MP, so using the '0' key is not an option for me.

How much time does it take you to edit and transfer? (it takes me about 10 mins to edit in ProjectX and another 5min to transfer over 100Mbps network)
How much time does it take you to delete the file? (it takes me 5 secs over the network, 10 secs at most using file menu and it took 3-4 secs when Delete this video option was directly in the context menu)
I think that we should:
- either not to allow to delete videos, music, pics inside MP
- or ask the user to enter PIN code for deletion
