Deleted recordings remain on hard drive

Deleted recordings remain on the hard drive. Gone from AppleTV and iPad App, but files still on the Mac hard drive.

That's the way it's supposed to work:

I have been noticing this the past few days. I thought there were issues from a recent windows update and I have been manually deleting it off the disk. I must say that I hate this new feature. When I select delete I want it deleted right away.

There are options to keep deleted at few as one day, but I agree there should be an option for immediate deletion.

For some, keeping files that have been deleted is a good way to prevent accidental loss.

But consider the traditional method “move to trashcan” where files are held until the trash is emptied.
