There is another setting that controls how long deleted recordings will stick around.

In TV settings -> General -> General(Auto Expire)  is a setting

'Time to Retain Deleted Recordings’

I have this set to 2 days which means that once a recording has been moved to the Deleted group, The recording will then be deleted from the hard drive. 

A value of 0 means it will be deleted within 20 minutes. A value of -1 means that will only be deleted is space is needed for new recordings.

Regards.
