Check the storage view before the next recording
Freesat’s storage guidance places the usage percentage under Home and Recordings. Review it before a busy recording evening rather than waiting for a missing programme. A collection with many completed episodes and an empty Planned filter can still be occupying substantial storage; future appointments and saved video are different parts of the recorder’s state.
Mark the particular recording to retain
The official Keep action is available by selecting the recording, pressing OK and choosing Keep. Freesat describes this as protection from automatic deletion when space is needed. Choose the actual episode you care about and confirm its kept state. A series title in a guide is not evidence that every saved episode has independently received the protection you intended.
Understand Deleting Soon on the current recorder
The May 2026 Recordable 4K manual says Deleting Soon contains the oldest watched recordings when disk space runs low. These may be removed to make room for planned programmes. Its Kept view identifies protected items. Use these named views to decide what can go, rather than assuming a programme remains indefinitely simply because it once appeared in the recording library.
Read the scope of a delete confirmation
The same manual distinguishes Delete Recording from a prompt to delete all recorded episodes in a series. Review that choice carefully when freeing space for one new programme. Keep is a recorder management feature, not an exported backup or a promise against every hardware failure. If a recording has already vanished, establish what happened before making further changes to the collection.
Questions, answered
