Firestick won't delete DVR recordings

I have a new 4K Firestick and recently migrated from Direct Satellite to Direct Stream.  All works well...until I try to Delete DVR recordings.   I cannot find any option to delete recordings.   I've had Direct TV technical help tell me it's impossible to delete a recording, saying it will disappear after 90 days.  That's not acceptable.   A friend has a Roku and he is able to delete recordings.   Is that the solution,  replace my new Firestick with a Roku?

You don't need to get a Roku at all, the Fire Stick is more than sufficient.

As far as deleting recordings, there should be some sort of pop-up when you hover over recordings telling you to press a certain button on your fire stick remote to delete the recording.

The document referred to is incomplete and does not have the delete solution in it

I discovered what my problem was.  When I wrote this post I was still subscribed to Direct TV satellite service.  Once I signed up for Direct TV Stream the now is a trash can that allows me to delete DVR shows.  Problem solved!
