DVR program deletion leaves artifact files/directories #393
Reference in New Issue

Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @dinki on GitHub (Feb 6, 2019).
When deleting the last episode of a recorded program, JF should delete the entire program's directory tree. This is not happening. Artifacts are being left behind:
user@host:/data-drive/jellyfin_dvr_tv$ find Schooled/
Schooled/
Schooled/Season 1
Schooled/tvshow.nfo
These files/directories should be cleaned up and removed to prevent a bunch of empty directories and orphaned files.

Keep open. Still unresolved AFAIK
@pokreman06 commented on GitHub (Sep 23, 2025):
Is this still an issue?
@carsten-re commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2025):
Hi @pokreman06,
Yes, it's still an issue.
When I delete the last recorded file in a series, the folder and some additional files like ngo and pictures will persist.

If no one is assigned to this bug, would this be ok for me to look at and try to resolve?

I'm pretty sure no one would be upset if you fixed a problem that was reported almost seven years ago.
