A recording medium for storing virtual deletion information, and recording
and/or reproducing method and apparatus therefor are provided. The
recording medium includes a first region having a plurality of still
pictures, and a second region having first virtual deletion information
for the still pictures, and still picture group information for
separating the still pictures in the first region into a predetermined
maximum number of groups in order to manage the still pictures at a group
level, wherein the first virtual deletion information is within the still
picture group information, and if the first virtual deletion information
is set to a virtual delete state, the corresponding still picture is not
to be reproduced. Accordingly, file extent information can be prevented
from excessively increasing by maximally preventing a recording area from
being scattered, when some of a data file are deleted by a user's
request.
