I just checked on my system (MacOS frontend, Ubuntu 20.04 backend with mysql 8) and everything deletes fine from both the recordings menu and the menu that pops up after the video completes.  As usual, the delete of the actual video file lags behind (there's a setting to delete quickly that I don't use), but it is gone from my ui and does not come back once deleted.  Very strange...

I fiddled with the DB which I had for a long time deleting cards and channels
I had marked my test machine as master, and thr real machine as master, but they were interacting so I now have only 1 frontend at a time running

In that fiddling I solved the problem, so it was BE not FE related. Sorry.
