CA 2738430

Systems and methods are provided for deleting viewed portions of recorded programs. In one embodiment, a media guidance application may provide a list of recorded programs, where each recorded program in the list includes an indication of an amount of time that the recorded program has been viewed. From the list, a user may flag the viewed portions of one or more recorded programs for deletion. In some embodiments, the media guidance application may provide a delete prompt in response to a user command to pause or stop playback of a recorded program. The delete prompt may provide the user who is viewing the recorded program with the ability to choose to delete the portion of the program viewed thus far. For example, the delete prompt may prompt the user to delete a portion of the recorded program that starts at the beginning of the program and ends at substantially the position that the user stopped or paused the recorded program.

Dans un mode de réalisation de linvention, une application de guide multimédia peut fournir une liste de programmes enregistrés, chaque programme enregistré de la liste contenant une indication d'une période de temps durant laquelle le programme enregistré a été visionné. A partir de la liste, un utilisateur peut marquer les parties visionnées d'un programme enregistré ou plus en vue de les supprimer.
