How to Delete a Helix Recording (Recordings menu or From the “For You” Section)

Hi there!

We’ve noticed that some Helix users are having trouble deleting recordings, especially since the return of the resume watching features.

Because there are now two different ways to delete a recording — either from the Recordings menu or directly from the For You section — here’s a clear summary of both methods.

This should help you delete your content more easily. 😉

Deleting a recording

1. Press the HELIX button on your voice remote to go to the main menu. 
2. Select Saved, then Recordings. 
3. Select the program to delete, then Delete and confirm. You can also select the X to the right of the title to delete. 
4. A confirmation message will appear. Select Delete Now and confirm. A confirmation message will appear. 

You can also use the D button on your remote to delete a single episode or a series, even during playback.

Delete a recording from the “For You” section

Some recently watched recordings can be deleted directly from the For You section. The steps differ slightly from deleting a recording using the Recordings menu.

Episode of a series

1. Select the series to open its info page.
2. Press the down arrow to access Continue Watching.
3. Highlight the episode you want to delete.
4. Press the “i” button on the remote to display the options.
5. Select Delete.

Movie or single event

1. Highlight the content you want to delete in the For You section.
2. Press the center button on the remote to open the options.
3. Select Delete.
