This showing rules are deleted automatically (within a couple days) 
after the showing's end time. Find rules are cleaned up automatically 
once a successful recording is completed--which means if your recording 
is marked as damaged, for example, they won't be cleaned up (and will 
cause a recording for a future showing if you haven't deleted the rule 
manually in the meantime).
