To stop a recording, go into manage recordings and highlight the
recording and choose delete. Also when you delete from manage
recordings you can choose delete or delete and let re-record. If you
just choose delete it is in the database as recorded, if you choose to
delete and re-record it will try to re-record it as long as the
recording rule is still in effect.
