[TYPO3] Deleting records from the back end

[lesm]

Hi Stephen,

I never delete a record.  If I don't need an old one I put it in a 
Recycler for future use.  The reason is that a record is never deleted 
but flagged as deleted.  In other words it will remain in the DB holding 
a "red flag" forever and ever.
