Within MythTV it says I have 855 files <br>
taking about 2TB, but in Ubuntu it says my storage folder has 4501 items <br>
taking 5.6TB. Most of the files in there appear to be MythTV video <br>
files. It seems like the system isn't really deleting the files from the <br>
computer when I delete in MythTV. How can I fix this?<br>
