a way to remove files/folders in incomplete folder from failed jobs?

Post by the block »

I had a series download last night that eventually got there and completed, but it had 29 failed jobs in the process. So now I have 29 folders from failed jobs sitting in my in my incomplete folder. These are taking up 6.37GB. Not terrible, but will eventually add up if I don't remember to check this folder periodically.

Is there anyway to get Sabnzbd to automatically purge the data from failed jobs after the job has completed? I'd rather not have to monitor the folder to make sure it's not filling up with failed jobs.

Thanks!

If you use Sonarr or Radarr, they do this for you. Sabnzbd doesn't!

Hmm I'm seeing a way to remove Completed and/or Failed downloads, but it seems related more to removing them from the download client history, not the files themselves (at least is how the wording comes off to me). I'll ask over there and see what they say. Thanks

Yes it will also delete the files when removing failed ones.
