TV Show Folders Deleted Not Getting Removed - Nekromantik - 2023-04-02

Hello

So I got a strange issue where if I create a new folder for a TV Series and Kodi downloads metadata for it but then I delete the folder as for example I decide not to want to add that series then after deleting the folder the show itself stays in Kodi.
Library cleanup did not do anything.

I see following in logs

 warning <general>: Process directory 'nfs://xx.xx.xx.xx/mnt/user//TV/xxxxx/' does not exist - skipping scan

The Team Kodi folks can likely explain the best process to use when deleting content from your library.  Here's a link to a forum which discusses a tool I have been creating to assist with these types of issues.  The tool is in beta but the users have been happy with it so far.  The best link to download it is here and the Wiki page for how it works is here


Thanks,

Jeff

You need to delete the tv show from your library first. Press Del on your keyboard or Context Menu►Manage►Remove from library.

I use the library watchdog plugin which on a change on my nfs share it will either add or delete the item
Works normally but on a few items it does not remove correctly. 95% of the time its fine.

Then you need to ask your question in the Library Watchdog thread.
