ahhhh - I clicked on a sub folder of the Recorded TV in Kodi and selected delete all recordings in folder and it deleted all recordings, not just the ones in the subfolder.
Is there any way to undelete or recover them??
(I guess not...)?

Just tried to reproduce this (after backing up all my recordings).
Kodi (Helix) is only sending the recording id's from the sub folder to MediaPortal for deletion as expected, so I cannot reproduce it.
Edit:
However, I did find a small problem in the TVServerKodi plugin that caused transferring an empty list to Kodi. So as far as I can see, the recordings are safe, but only the entire list in Kodi was empty. This should be fixed with TVServerKodi plugin v1.10.0.128

But if I do that then they wont be listed the mediaPortal database?
I ran into a similar issue when I deleted a recording manually in explorer and the MediaPortal database kept listing it until I manually updated it.

I meant copy (not move!) them to another disk so you have a backup.
If you do then need to restore them, you would have to re-import them into the MediaPortal TV database.

The problem is that I have loads of TV recordings to manually reimport them would take ages.

Just had this problem, and found this thread.
What I think is happening is as follows:
1. Select recording - delete - deletes one recording (OK)
2. From top list select single folder - delete - delete all folder contents (OK)
3. In a folder, select .. - delete - delete all in parent folder (everything) !!!!!!!
I think that deletion of .. should be blocked.

Unfortunately I cannot easily prevent this. The PVR addon receives a DeleteRecording command for each individual recording,
I've heard that it should not be possible anymore in Kodi 16 (Jarvis)
The one recording => skip folder part is a nice suggestion. Will put this on my (long) todo list.

I have been advised that this is fixed in 15.2, and therefore in OpenELEC 6.0 as well. I have confirmed this, and upgraded accordingly. There is now no context menu for the '..' entry!
