Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for managing storage space of media assets stored on a storage device are described. In some embodiments, control circuitry determines whether a selected media asset belongs to a series where an order is assigned to media assets in the series. In response to determining that the selected media asset belongs to the series, the control circuitry retrieves information regarding a last viewed media asset of the series. The control circuitry determines whether the last viewed media asset is subsequent to the selected media asset in the order assigned to media assets in the series. In response to determining that the last viewed media asset is subsequent to the selected media asset in the order assigned to the media assets in the series, the control circuitry transmits an instruction to remove the selected media asset from the storage device.
