Moreover, available space may not be restored by deleting or the HDD may have protection disabling playback or recording. When you want to delete unnecessary parts from titles, collect necessary parts of chapters to make a playlist. Then copy the playlist and delete the original title or the playlist. For example, make a playlist and copy it to a DVD-RAM. Then delete original titles on the HDD. It can save time and effort and retain continuity in the HDD space.
