Sorry to revive such an old thread but im having the same issue. This
started in 0.25 and continues in 0.26. In mythweb>recorded programs>deleted
programs is about 384 recordings.  However, in the frontend there is only 1
which ive just deleted.  Space on my 1TB drive is almost full and I can
access the recordings from mythweb.
Does anyone have any ideas??
