To delete a recording from the Watch Recordings screen, highlight the 
recording and then press the m key (menu) to bring up a menu that you 
can then arrow to the Delete entry and hit return.

The m key works in lots of different places (including while you are 
watching a recording) to bring up options.  Sort of like right clicking 
in your computer os.

If you use Mythweb, you can see a complete list of key bindings.
If you are on the same computer as the backend you can get to Mythweb by 
opening a browser and going to:
http://localhost/mythweb/

Key bindings might be on the wiki too, I haven't checked.
