I love the Humax HDR, but one thing that i hate is deleting files.

I often end up leaving old files for a while, then do a big clear up later, but it takes so long having to select one file at a time, select delete, select yes then wait for it to delete etc.

Its one thing i miss from Sky, it was so easy to delete on that.

Is there a quicker way to delete files, like can you delete a group of files in bulk, or do i just have to keep doing what i've been doing and send time going through each file individually?

In file manager go into edit mode and select all the files you want to delete. Then press delete and go and make a cup of tea

True enough if you can tell which files in a series folder (all with the same name and no date) you want to delete. OK, you can use the i button to find out which is which but, if you have to do that, you may as well delete them individually.

What like the HUMAX 9200? Multi select, deleted in a flash??
