Yes, deleting in MythTV simply flags the recording as deleted. It won't be
actually deleted until MythTV needs the space. If you only need extra space
for MythTV then don't worry about. If you need the space for something else
then follow Paul's advice and use the "delete forever" function.

Cheers,
Steve
