Clean Up Empty Library Folders

TV Rename will create folders as seasons get announced and sometimes it will not remove unused movie folders. 'Clean Up Empty Library Folders' scans though:

  • Base folder for each TV show and Movie in the library

  • Movie Library Folders (and subfolders)

  • TV Show Library Folders (and subfolders)

It shows the results of the scan in the Scan results screen and they can be activated by clicking on 'Do Checked',

Make sure you double check the folders it is proposing to remove. It considers a folder to be empty if it contains no video files. It does not check that they are not important for any other reasons.

Note: The next scan may recreate some of the empty folders. If you have a season that has been announced, but no episodes aired yet then the folder will be (re)created
