First thing I'd try is:

rm /path/to/mythweb/data/cache/*

(If that directory doesn't exist, find out where the MythWeb local cache
of previews exists.  I don't remember if it was different in 0.20.)  If
that doesn't work, I'd repeat the above, and also try:

rm /path/to/recordings/*.png

(Make sure you have the ".png" after the * in the second one. ;)
