Or does such a setting only affect recording after you make changes?

Yes, if I remember correctly, the finished recording's retention time is initialized with the settings from the recording profile, but it will not pick up changes made to that profile later on.

You can edit the finished recording's retention times when you select the recording in the Web UI, then click 'Edit'. They appear under advanced and expert settings in the popup window.

I'd suggest to close this issue, or change it to clarify the documentation on this topic.
