When you delete a recording the group is updated to "Deleted" and the
autoexpire is set to 9999. In that case the actual deletion of the file
will occur after the delete time interval defined in setup.

If you see this on something that is not in "Deleted" group it may be
that you previously deleted it and then updated the group.
