This issue has been going on for as long as I can remember. I only recently thought to get a recording of it to report here. Basically, when I delete some unwatched shows they delete right away. But if I watch a show for a bit and then decide to delete it, the show re-appears immediately, and I have to delete it again.
I hope this makes sense. If not, here's a video.
I submitted diagnostics too just now. Hope this helps.
This should be resolved in the latest TestFlight build:
Thank you for the followup but unfortunately, I'm sorry to say the issue is still happening here. I'll start in the Sports section, and watch a recorded game 3/4 of the way through. I'll delete it, see the thumbnail disappear, and then 2 seconds later, it re-appears. At this point, I can delete a second time, but if I force-quit the Channels app, and re-launch, the deleted recording does not appear.
What else can I test or send over, to help get this fixed?
After updating to the new release I’m seeing something similar but different.
-I watched a game about 3/4 the way through, (I started watching this recording while it was still recording. It finished recording while I was watching)
-Stopped playback with back button
-Selected trash the recording
-After clicking trash the screen displayed image below. Notice the missing buttons like watch, explore, more, and trash
It's happening for me with all recordings, not just content in the Sports section. Here's an example screengrab video from today. Running the latest pre-release of tvOS client and pre-release of CDVR server on an M1 Mac mini.
Diagnostics from tvOS submitted just now.
Hah! This is funny!
It looks like @Fofer's issue is a combination of a large library with auto-PIP being enabled. Let me see if I can figure out how to fix this. Thank you for the video! I don't think I would have noticed it in the logs otherwise.
Weird. Well, you helped us find another big bug regardless!
I’ve also noticed that if I delete a recording once — and as usual, see it reappear a couple of seconds later — that if I do NOT delete it a second time, just force quit the Channels app and then re-launch the app, that the recording is gone. 
Yep, it’s a data race condition between a refresh of the server data and the delete request. It’s just a client issue.
