Are your failed recordings refusing to go away!

If a programme fails in planned recordings, it eventually goes into recordings listed as "failed". One would normally then delete it.
For the last week or two, it wont let u delete them!
Has anyone else experienced this?

I do, however, have a few old programmes that re-appear each night after being deleted.
This appears to be a different issue.
I don't want to re-format because I have a lot of unwatched recordings.
I keep deleting it but it keeps coming back.
I think a reformat is the only way to get rid of it, but you might be like me and have a lot of unwatched content!
I got it down to about 2 shows, unfortunately, those 2 shows are my wife's and she doesnt't want to delete them incase she wants to watch them again, which she won't!
Yhats the troubli I have about 70 hours unwtched so i guess i will have to put up with it
No...
As suggested by me frequently, record/watch your stuff/delete...
I accept that if one goes away for a week or two, one might hopefully have to catch up with a few 'essential' recordings (much of which will be on 'play it again' somewhere ...).
White lie time. Just do it and say there was an issue with the box and virgin told me to do the following.
Buy her a DVD/HDD recorder and copy her programmes to it
I know I could reformat but there are several films on there I don;t want to lose so I can live with it.
Of course which menu is another matter...:p
EDIT - Umm. I'm sure I've seen this as a menu option, but on searching online all I find is the following instruction instead.
"To reformat the hard drive you will have to use your remote control. This key sequence needs to be a fairly rapid succession of key presses taking less than 10 seconds.
If STOP or QUIT appears you will need to start the process again
1.Press the HOME Button
2.Press down the Play button for 5 seconds (E-00 Will appear on the display)
3.Press the TV Drive/V+ Button. (E-01 Will appear on the display)
4.Press the CH - button 4 times. (As you do this hdd1, hdd2, hdd3 and then hdd4 will appear on the display)
Reformatting will then begin and rFt will appear on the display.
The process can take between 5-8 minutes depending on how full the hard drive is, and once complete the V+ drive will reboot."
think it wipes everything. ie as though you just got a brand new box. This is why I cant do this.
It does, which is the problem that I have.
