To clarify...

A Storage Group is just a logical name for a list of directories.

If you remove a Storage Group, you are simply removing that name.  That 
means that any recording rules created to record to that Storage Group 
will instead fall back to using the default Storage Group, called Default.

When MythTV is looking for recordings, it will look in all the 
directories associated with that Storage Group.  If it doesn't find the 
recording in that Storage Group, it will search in all the other 
directories associated with all the other Storage Groups defined on this 
and every other host in the MythTV system.

So, if you happen to have the directory in which the recordings are 
stored in any other Storage Group for any host in MythTV, the recordings 
will be accessible.
