Managing recordings on Sky Q might seem tricky at first, but with the right steps, it becomes a breeze. Here’s a detailed guide to help you cancel, recover, and delete recordings on your Sky Q system.

If you have a recording that you no longer need, canceling it is straightforward.

How Long Do Recordings Stay on Sky Q?

Sky Q is quite generous with how long it keeps your recordings. Recordings rarely get moved to the "deleted" section automatically. However, you can always recover them from this section, as recordings are only permanently deleted after two months. It’s important to remember that the two-month countdown starts from the date of insertion into the deleted section, not from the original recording date. Therefore, you have ample time to retrieve any mistakenly deleted content.

Removing Programs You’ve Started Watching

Sometimes, you might want to remove a program that you’ve started watching but don’t plan to finish.

To do this, go to the ‘Continue Watching’ row, select the title you want to remove, and press MENU. Then, choose the option ‘Remove from Row.’ This way, you can keep your ‘Continue Watching’ list tidy and relevant to your current viewing intentions.

Deleting Recordings on Sky Q

Freeing up space on your Sky Q is crucial for recording new shows and movies. Managing your recordings can be done easily through My TV.

Press the My TV button on your Sky remote to access your recordings. From there, you can select the content you no longer need and press the yellow button on your Sky remote to delete it. This simple process ensures that your Sky Q box always has sufficient space for the new content you wish to record.

By following these steps, you can manage your Sky Q recordings with ease, ensuring that your viewing experience remains smooth and enjoyable. Happy watching!
