    The stuff that's deleted will generally be removed when the space set aside for it is full. It's a great feature to have.

    Yes it is. You'll notice that if you remove everything from the deleted section the hdd space will remain unchanged.

    yeah was thinking that, well more the other way round, when you delete something your usable space goes back up.
    is a good feature alright

    Hi sonofenoch,

    As others have said, any deleted content will remain on the HDD until the box runs out of relevant space.

    If you have any other questions on this, or any Sky services, we are now on Boards.ie. The Sky Ireland Talk To site is at this link and we would be more than happy to assist you.

    If you wish to post your question / query on our site, we will endeavour to answer these for you.

    Regards,
    Sam
