some entries in my recordings do not clear

I have been experimenting with recording radio shows and podcasts. I wanted to clear the my recordings list using the clear recordings button under tools.

the radio shows all clear and also the podcasts, but not the podcasts where the status is "no new podcasts". I have to delete these individually. Not convenient. Have I missed something in the instructions?

No, you have not. The program sees it as there is nothing to clear because nothing additional has been added.

that's one way to look at it, however such things make the program less attractive to use.
