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. It's only a small bug and since I 'PUTTY' around a lot from my Windows PC it's not a biggy to delete the empty folders ;o)) Regards, Reinhard
