Can't delete and recordings

I am trying to delete recordings and all I get is please wait... than it seems to get stuck.  I have to turn off the box to get it to stop and to be able to watch TV.  The dvr won't erase any recordings whether individually or grouped...

Hi, @vikkiw1369, we're sorry for the trouble deleting your recordings. Have you attempted a reset? If you haven't, you can do this by pressing the red button on the receiver. Also, if you have DIRECTV via Internet/STREAM service, there's an ongoing outage for recordings. Our team is already aware of the issue and is working on a fix. Please let us know if the restart works. Kharl, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Help please I can’t delete my recordings either! I can’t find my recordings I programmed to record over the weekend! I am so frustrated! Is this a new update? I have reset it multiple times nothing is working. We pay a bunch for these services and sadly, now we may have to switch to another provider and loose all our previous recorded shows! What can I do?

Same here.  Did a reset now have new menus for “List” button and nowhere can you delete recordings.  My DVR is full and can’t record what I want it to.  Did DirectTV help say 14 days ago they were aware and working on a fix?  Absolutely ridiculous and terrible service.  This subscription is not cheap.  I expect better.

Strange, as DTV receivers will delete older programs to make room for newer programs even the Keep until I delete ones.  Try another red button reset of the Genie then the minis.
