Frndly TV and Its Recording Feature
Before we delve into the steps of deleting recordings, I recommend understanding a bit more about Frndly TV and its fantastic recording feature. The cloud DVR service offered by Frndly TV is known as โUnlimited Cloud DVR.โ
This wonderful feature allows subscribers to record their favorite shows and watch them anytime, anywhere. Itโs one of the reasons Iโm so drawn to Frndly TV! However, as with all good things, sometimes we need to create space for newer shows by deleting the older ones.
Navigating to Your Recordings
To delete a recording, you must first access your recorded shows. Hereโs how you do it:
- Open your Frndly TV app or log in through your preferred web browser.
- Click on the โMy Showsโ tab located in the main navigation menu.
Note:
The โMy Showsโ tab is where youโll find all the shows youโve decided to record.Selecting a Recording to Delete
Once youโve successfully navigated to your recordings, itโs time to select the one you wish to delete. Trust me, I know how it feels to wave goodbye to an old favorite. But donโt worry, if itโs still airing, you can always record it again.- Scroll through your list of recordings until you find the one you want to delete.
- Click on the showโs icon to bring up the detailed view of your recordings.
Deleting a Recording
Now comes the moment of truth: deleting the recording. Remember, be certain about your decision because once itโs gone, itโs gone.
- Look for the โMore Optionsโ icon (usually represented by three vertical dots or an ellipsis) next to the showโs title.
- Click on โMore Optionsโ and a drop-down list will appear.
- Select โDelete Recording.โ
Note:
Once you delete a recording, it cannot be undone. Make sure youโre certain about deleting the show before you take this action.Confirmation
I always admire a system that asks for confirmation before finalizing potentially regrettable actions. Frndly TV doesnโt disappoint here.
- After selecting โDelete Recording,โ a pop-up message will appear asking if youโre sure you want to delete the recording. If youโre sure, go ahead and confirm.
Understanding Frndly TVโs Recording Limits
As we further explore the topic of deleting recordings on Frndly TV, itโs worth mentioning that even though Frndly TVโs Cloud DVR is marketed as โUnlimited,โ there is technically a limit. That limit is tied to the duration for which the recordings are stored rather than the number of shows you can record.
Recordings are generally kept indefinitely, unless you choose to delete them. This generous offering from Frndly TV might mean that the need to delete recordings for space doesnโt often arise, but keeping your library organized can certainly require a clear-out from time to time.
Considerations Before Deleting
Before you proceed to delete your recordings on Frndly TV, itโs crucial to consider a few things:
- Availability of the Show: Are episodes of the show youโre considering deleting still being aired? If they are, you can always record them again. However, if the show is no longer available or if itโs a one-time event, you might want to rethink before hitting that delete button.
- Shared Viewing: If you share your Frndly TV account with others, confirm that no one else is interested in the recording youโre planning to delete. An unexpected disappearance of a show can lead to some unhappy viewers!
- Revisit Value: Is the show or event something you may want to revisit in the future? If yes, you might want to keep the recording intact.
Alternative Solutions
If youโre looking to delete recordings simply because your library feels overwhelming or disorganized, there are alternative solutions:
- Creating Profiles: Frndly TV allows you to create up to six profiles per subscription. Consider creating separate profiles for different members of your household, or even for different moods and genres, to keep your recordings list more organized.
- Utilize Categories: Make use of the categories feature in Frndly TV to group shows and make navigation easier. You can create categories based on genre, length, age appropriateness, or any other criteria that suits your needs.
- Priority Settings: Use the priority settings feature to organize your recordings. This can help you keep track of what you want to watch next and prevent you from missing out on new episodes of your favorite shows.

If you encounter issues while trying to delete your recordings, donโt worry! Here are some common troubleshooting steps I recommend:
- Update your App: If youโre using the Frndly TV app, make sure itโs up-to-date. Sometimes, glitches and bugs are resolved in newer versions of the app.
- Clear Cache: Clearing cache on your device can often resolve minor issues. If youโre using a web browser to access Frndly TV, try clearing your browser cache.
