Clean out video preview thumbnails?

[cd01 8]

Hi,

I missed to disable this feature "Video Preview Thumbnails" when adding a new library and i just noticed my server has been hard at work filling up my ssd with a ton of thumbnails.

I don't want this, i set the library share to "Video preview thumbnails  > never" but now it seems the data remains, what job cleans these out if the library is set to never? Or don't they get cleaned out? Is there a specific path the thumbnails for "video preview" lands so i can manually delete them?

Whats the best option here? I don't want the redo my entire library because the poster thumbnails and stuff i still want.

Think i might have resolved this myself "Scan Metadata Folder" seems to have freed up 20+gb so that must have been it?

Hi. it's actually off by default so there's nothing you need to do to turn if off, unless you enabled it and then later changed your mind.

Turning it off won't delete thumbnails for existing content for which they've already been created.
