Sor ry about the quoting, I am using a web client which does not seem to handle it. 



In Mythweb, "Recorded Programs" page, there is a drop down list where you can select the recording group. It has options for "all recordings", "default" and "deleted ". 



When I select "deleted " I see some 160 programs listed. As I mentioned originally, these do not show in the front end when I select the "deleted " group there. 



I am not sure what the backend status page says now. Before conversion it was showing some 50 GB available on each drive. I have altogether around 3 Terabytes spread over three drives.
