Actually deleting several gigabytes from a disk takes a while and
may disturb an ongoing recording session (I had that in the early stages
of VDR, that's why I implemented the delayed deleting). Also, if you delete
a recording by accident, you still have a chance of getting it back by
renaming the directory from *.del back to *.rec.

Define a command in commands.conf that does this:
Remove deleted recordings : rm -r `find /video -name '*.del'`
(this is given without any warranty that it will work - I haven't
explicitly tested it!).
