Use the mythfrontend UI to delete them...  Either Watch Recordings or 
Delete Recordings.  To do that, hit 'D' when the recording is selected 
or use INFO ('I') to get the Action menu and select Delete.

There is no need to edit the DB manually (and if you do, you'll almost 
definitely leave information that should be deleted).
