Sonarr re-downloading episodes I delete

How do I prevent Sonarr from re-downloading episodes after I delete them?

Unmonitor Deleted Episodes
Episodes deleted from disk are automatically unmonitored in Sonarr

Thanks. It’s actually called 'Ignore Deleted Episodes" under Settings/Media Management.

The default is No. IMO, it should be Yes but maybe I’m biased to my use case.

I guess that’s what it’s called in v2…
Default yes is the safest, in case you have storage that is intermittently unavailable. Sonarr would unmonitor everything, including things you still want monitored.

Good point. I wonder if that condition could be mitigated by checking for the existence of the parent of the series/show directory. As in:

/mounted-disk/tv/Show Title/Season 1/deleted-file.mp4

So, if “Ignore Deleted Episodes” is true and “deleted-file.mp4”
is missing but “/mounted-disk/tv” is also missing, do not unminitor.

Sonarr already checks for the presence of the root folder, but we have no plans to change the default.
