Sample files being kept

I continue to find shows that have sample files scattered throughout the episodes. The full episode has been purged and the sample file takes it place. Any ideas where to find my problem?

Log files is probably a good start.
I can also recommend to set a minimum size for all qualities you use, even if it is only e.g. 100mb. That weeds out all samples and lots of fakes.

Sonarr doesn’t move sample files, sounds like something else is sorting them and Sonarr is seeing them. Once a file is sorted it is assumed to be correct, if its a sample file then Sonarr will incorrectly pick it up and consider it to be the media file.

If you have existing sample files you will need to clean them up manually and additionally make sure nothing else is sorting them (also keep sorted and unsorted files separate).
