One-off recordings get set to "keep until space needed". You can't change the default.

Note the "keep until" setting is completely irrelevant unless the hard drive becomes full. It doesn't actually delete anything until the space is needed, then the "keep until" setting is used to prioritise deletions. If you set everything to "until I delete", new recordings would fail.
