Don't have the menu in front of me, but it's like Manage Recordings,
Previously Recorded. Do a ctrl-s to find an episode, then enter. (I think
it's enter, might be M.)

That will ask if you want to forget (or is it remove?) that episode or all
episodes for that series. Recently had to do it for the missus' fave 420+
episode detective show.
