Emby-Server Folder Size

[sundevil67 30]

My emby-server folder on my Mac Mini is eating up nearly 60GB of HD space; it is pretty much all metadata. I have a pretty large Emby library I suppose; & all of the significant media lives on an external HD with a few TB to spare. Unfortunately the Mac Mini has only 250GB capacity on the internal HD. Is there a fairly painless way to chop this down? There are thousands of shows I'll never watch (STRM files a few k each).

Thanks

If you look under metadata it’s just going to be images. It really just depends on what features your enable on your libraries. Everything comes with a resource consumption cost.
