problems deleting a recording from the viewing screen

Sometimes I start watching a programme and then decide I don't want it. At the moment, the only way I can delete it is by fast forwarding to the very end and then deleting in the usual way. Is there any quick way of deleting it without doing this?

Hi @badger10

To delete a recording that is currently playing you need to select the Back up button (left of Home button) twice to exit the recording. You can then then delete it.

This needs to be done in Recordings - Most recent.

You cannot delete recordings if watching ftom the Recordings - Continue section.

Thank you - I'll try that. Does it work when youre playing back a recording too?
