Yes.

It would hardly be a fix to delete from the database when the file was 
still there (orphan file)--just as vice versa (orphan database entry) 
would be bad.

It was fixed so that if the file /doesn't exist/ you can tell it to 
delete from the DB, anyway.  If the file's there, but undeletable, it 
disappears from the recording list, then it comes back a bit later.
