Oh I see but why are you deleting them. They have an expiry date and delete themselves when HDD space is needed. The space % does not reflect the amount of suggestions the box has recorded and if you change channels when 3 suggestions are recording it will simply stop one of them without bothering the viewer at all.
I used to do it all the time, I think its habit from the V+, were you have little space to record and once its full it wont record anything else. You tend to be ruthless with recordings then. Takes some getting used to, the Tivo way, record as much as possible then get rid of low priority stuff automatically, when you start to run out of space.
