Thumbnail cleanup?

[Gilgamesh_48 945]

After having been convinced, dragged kicking and screaming is more like it, thank you very much, that it is OK and even best to store the thumbnail bif files alongside the video files it has occurred to me that there might be some leftover bifs stored somewhere in my file system.

 

I do not want to hurt my Emby install, as it is working VERY well, but, if there are leftovers from the old Roku Thumbnail plugin or from anything else, I would like to clean up any bifs that are left over. So I have a question or two:

 

Can I just issue a shell command like "del *.bif /s " in the Emby install directory to perform the cleanup or will that cause problems with something else in Emby?

 

If I cannot do the above what should I do to cleanup, if needed, files that are no longer used?

 

Thanks again for any help.

Where do you want to clean them up from exactly? The server's metadata folder?

I guess that would be the place because the Roku Thumbnail plugin must have put them somewhere and I never specified any other location. Of course, if they exist somewhere else except with the videos then, unless there is some reason not to, I would like them cleaned up there as well.

 

I just want to not have leftover unused files.

If you enable saving them into media folders, the scheduled task till clean them up from the metadata folder.
