I found another post from you replying to me (sigh!)

I switched to the front end.  This cannot be done on MythWeb

I changed "group filter" in the M menu selected whilst not high lighting
any programme, in "Watch Recordings" to "Deleted".

Then "Add this group to PLaylist"

I do not have a "Delete forever" option for the playlist, but a "Delete"
option.  Selecting it has no effect that I can see, except the deleted
files filtered view gets re drawn.

For each individual file there is a "Delete forever" option but it frees
up no disk space either.

I have run out of ideas...
