Why do recordings still show the yellow exclamation point with the message, “This recording may be deleted to make room for other programs” when only half my space is used?

The TiVo always displays the yellow exclamation point (!) 24 hours after the “keep until” time expires. That does not mean your recording will be deleted soon. The yellow ball with the exclamation point only means that it is no longer protected, and can be deleted once it is the oldest recording on the DVR and space is needed for a new recording. The TiVo will never delete anything unless space is needed for a new recording scheduled by the user. When space is needed for a new recording, the TiVo will first clear the Recently Deleted and Suggestions folders. Once the the Recently Deleted and Suggestions folders are empty, the TiVo will delete the oldest recording on the DVR that isn’t marked as “keep until I delete.
