How to recover from harddrive failure (Mine is dead)

And then change the no remove tree back to true so that it won't do what you stated because I may end up moving recordings to my nas and wouldent want it messing up

[UPDATE] I changed that value to False , restarted NEXTPVR it did remove all the missing recordings on restart.

I the edited the XML file as needed and reimported that XML file this added all the recordings in the new location

And then changed the value back to true

It now seems as if there are more files in the recording directory than next PVR knows about how would I go about removing these old files

I think these are here as my settings in next PVR are set to only keep 10 eppisodes and I'm assuming that my backup has restored recordings that next PVR had deleted from its database

You could run vidimport (see the wiki for details) it has an option to create an xml file of files that it finds that are not in teh database. You could then either import them or with some fiddling around manually create a batch file to delete them. Sorry, I can't rmember all the options for vidimport.
