Upon further reflection, I'm not sure any recordings are getting deleted. I saw some files that I *think* corresponded to a certain show, I deleted that show from within mythfrontend and looked and the files are still there. Maybe I'm mistaken and those files are for some different show. Any thoughts on how I can verify that files are getting deleted? After deleting the show from within mythfrontend and seeing that the files are still there, I ran 'find_orphans.py' and it didn't find anything, so maybe things are getting deleted and I'm just confused.

Any thoughts?
