steelman1991 19 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Is there any way to clean up 'orphan' files in metadata (xml and jpg) files, where the original media file has been replaced with one with a different name? Metadata is being kept locally and I hadn't noticed these files were being kept, after deletion or replacement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelman1991 19 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 What type of example you want? I initially have a file named for example Boardwalk.Empire,s01e01.Boardwalk.Empire.5.1.Web-DL.KiNGS.mkv The metadata folder will contain identically named files with extensions .xml and ,jpg If I delete and replace this with other files Boardwalk.Empire,s01e01.Boardwalk.Empire.Blu.Ray.DTS-HD.5.1.mkv MB3 scrapes the new file, adds 2 files to the metadata folder with the new file name with .xml and jpg extensions, but leaves the Boardwalk.Empire,s01e01.Boardwalk.Empire.5.1.Web-DL.KiNGS.xml and .jpg files in place, despite there no longer being a file with that name. This isn't peculiar to that particular file, but to all files where changes have been made to the media file name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37178 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Right. We don't currently do any cleanup like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrep 3 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Is there any progress on metadata clean-up? I did not find more recent posts on this topic and asked a question here: Metadata Clean-up: How to properly identify the currently used elements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
