so today was the first time i've checked my play tv libary since i had to do a re-scan for the digital switchover here in the uk and it seems to have wiped out all my recordings

i've come to terms with the fact thier gone and i know i can re-record most of it eventually, im just curious as to why i've not got as much free space on my hard drive

is there a simple way to access the harddrive on the ps3 to see everything thats on it so that i can do some sort of cleaning to get some extra hard drive space back?

You need to do a HDD recovery from the PS3 recovery menu.

This will then Show up the Currupted files for deletetion in each section.

It will also so up files. That have not been fully deleted as they has not been over writen.
