I usually move used, viewed programs that start getting on nerves to a
subdirectory.
They're not deleted, they'll be available upon later desire, but for a
bit, they're out of the way.

I also have subdirectories in the main video directory. Myth scans them
in, but shows the subdirectory.
So, I have one for the grandkids, one for my father, the main for my
wife and I and television shows that we kept in a TV_Shows subdirectory
with subdirectories for series/seasons within that.

In a worst case scenario, where I don't want to delete the programs, but
make them unavailable, I can either move the programs out of the myth
videos directory or simply change the permissions of the file.
I'm starting to think of doing that for the Lord of the Rings trilogy,
ripped to HD, which took forever, now they're being played to death...
