Anything in the Deleted box will be instantly removed once the device starts to get close to capacity.

Tip: If you're torn between which series to delete just to clear some space, opt for the 30-episode strong series instead of the 10-episode series to maximise capacity.

If you make a mistake and you want to undelete something, select Recordings and then select Deleted.

Find the show you want to retrieve in this folder and click Undelete.
