ImportDecisionMaker trying to load missing files every minute

Help & Support

No idea how it got into this state, but every minute Sonarr is trying to load files that don’t exist. I presume there’s a list of orders in a db file somewhere that needs to be flushed…??

Message
Couldn’t import file. C:\Media\TV\filename-NhaNc3: File doesn’t exist: C:\Media\TV\filename-NhaNc3

I had the same issue when the Season folder directory was setup wrong for a while (it was 00 instead of S00) . What I did to fix was to move back each file it was complaining about to the scanning directory where Sonnar simply re-moved them back and stopped error-ring after each file was done.

Most likely these are coming from your download client’s history and its already been removed from disk.

The easiest fix is to change the category you’re using in the download client to a new one or if you want to keep it the same, delete those items from the history (Sonarr will check the last 30 history items and process any with the same category).
