> If you don't want recordings in a particular folder, delete it from your storage groups as previously recommended. Run mythtv-setup and select storage groups. More info on storage groups here - http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Storage_Groups.

Then use system tools (mv or your favorite file manager or whatever) to 
move the recording files from the no-longer-in-any-Storage-Group 
directory to a directory that /is/ in one or more Storage Groups.
