I actually took a look at the KSCleaner code and did some testing. Path cleaning is included. I manually created an entry with nothing else pointing to it and it cleaned as the code shows it should. we'll take further discussions over to the KSCLeaner forum. There could be something else others are looking for that I am not familiar with.
Thanks,

Were you able to work out solution?.
Please look here "https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=369984&pid=3211718#pid3211718" and my post #352. This add-on works with some "deeper" understanding of it functions. IMHO it is not 100% (most likelly 99.5%) but it works and alleviate the need to go to database and manually remove entries from some tables.

I'm a little confused myself. Is Kodi on the way out, losing contributors?
The message from 2009 says the cleaner "isn't perfect yet". That was 14 years ago and I'm still having to manually remove things.
If I create a library with multiple folders and need to remove a modular folder... then I have to delete the entire file library it existed on. This function clearly does not do what it says it does, or what it was meant to do over the last 15 years.
I love Kodi. I'm a long-time user from early days of XBMC. I'm really at a loss.
