With the default settings, deleted recordings will only be in the
deleted group for about 15-20 minutes, then will be expired (actually
deleted).  To see what is actually in the deleted group at the moment,
use mythfrontend > Media Library > Watch Recordings > M(enu) > Change
Group Filter and select the Deleted group (if it exists).  If it does
not exist, there are currently no deleted recordings - they have all
been expired.

You may have changed your settings for how deleted recordings are
handled - one option is to keep them forever until they are expired
when you need more space for new recordings.  I think all the settings
for that are in mythfrontend > Setup > Video > General > General
(Auto-Expire).
