Original Pull Request: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/10328

State: closed
Merged: No

Changes

  • Make LibraryManager.DeleteItem async
  • Remove LibraryManager.DeleteItem notifyParentItem param (unused)
  • Delete all metadata and images on media item delete (when deleting media item from filesystem)
  • Remove empty folders from filesystem on media item delete

Eempty media folders will be deleted when the last item is deleted. Eg. deleting the last episode from a season in a series would delete the season in the library and directory on disk. If that season was the last season for that series, the series would also be deleted from the library and disk.

Tested on Windows only, though I expect it should work for other operating systems.

Detection for existing files uses the same ignore list as media import to ensure standard hidden files are not mistaked for user files. If there are any remaning files that are not safe to ignore and do not belong to Jellyfin, the delete action for the folder will be skipped.

Issues
ex. Fixes #832
