VDR removed .del directories just fine:

I have the same problem (still using an older version of VDR, tho). VDR does delete the contents of the directory, but it doesn't always delete the primary directory below 'video'. In your example you (or in my case me ;o)) still have
/video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/
(being empty) left over. If it's a re-occuring timer, that is still active, this makes sense, but if there are no further events occuring later, VDR should also delete the directories
'Die_Welt_von_morgen' and 'nano'
I haven't been able to find out when or why this occurs. All I know is that it doesn't always work. I.e. sometimes VDR DOES indeed delete the above two directories as would be correct.
The example I gave wasn't the last recording in that directory. Here's what happened when it deleted the last one:
Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing recording /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del/001.vdr Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del/index.vdr Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del/info.vdr Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del/resume.vdr Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/2006-10-10.18.30.05.05.del Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano
I never had a case (at least none that I remember) where this didn't work as expected.
Could it be that this only happens with a patched VDR?
