The typical place for the log is /var/log/mythtv, but it depends on
what version of Linux you are using. The file is normally called
mythbackend.log, but that can vary too. It also pays to look at the
system logs and the systemd journals. In Ubuntu, look at
/var/log/syslog and run this command which shows you the latest
entries in the system journal:
journalctl -e
So what system are you running?
And I do remember a bug that was in an old version of MythTV that had
symptoms similar to what you are seeing. But I can not remember what
version it was in - I think it was older than 0.28, but I can not be
sure at all. It was fixed quite quickly at the time, so if you are on
0.28-fixes, it would not be that bug.

<p>The logs showed evidence of permissions problems. I looked at
the files in the recording directory and some were owned by mythtv
and others by jay. I ran 'sudo chown mythtv:mythtv *' in the
recording directory and tried the Deleted Recordings ->
Playlist -> Delete technique again. It then appeared as if
mythtv was now deleting the recordings (yeah).</p>
<p>However, things are still broken somehow. The 'mythbackend
--printexpire --quiet' command now shows just 7 recordings (the 7
I watched and deleted last night). This is expected. The
frontend Deleted Recordings group also only has these same 7
recordings in it. But the mythweb backend status still shows over
500GB of deleted recordings remaining to be deleted. The actions
(above) resulted in deleting about 260GB, but according to mythweb
backend status, there is still 570GB left to go. How do I get
mythtv to delete these deleted recordings?<br>
