i wish vdr would delete .del directories ;)
here it doesn't clean up emtpy directories. never found out why. so i
made a cronjob that does that for me ...

VDR removed .del directories just fine:

I have the same problem (still using an older version of VDR, tho).
VDR does delete the contents of the directory, but it doesn't
always delete the primary directory below 'video'. In your example
you (or in my case me ;o)) still have

/video/nano/Die_Welt_von_morgen/

(being empty) left over. If it's a re-occuring timer,
that is still active, this makes sense, but if there are
no further events occuring later, VDR should also
delete the directories

'Die_Welt_von_morgen' and 'nano'

I haven't been able to find out when or why this occurs.
All I know is that it doesn't always work. I.e. sometimes
VDR DOES indeed delete the above two directories as
would be correct.

The example I gave wasn't the last recording in that directory.
Here's what happened when it deleted the last one:

Oct 10 22:21:36 video vdr: [29353] removing /video/nano

I never had a case (at least none that I remember) where this
didn't work as expected.

Could it be that this only happens with a patched VDR?
