Talk Shows - Removing Old Episodes

I would like to remove old episodes (anything past 21 days) automatically from my Talk Shows directory in order to save storage space. (Conan, Letterman, Fallon, etc. – adds up quickly)

I have a script that runs on my HTPC to do so for older episodes, but Sonarr will re-download the old episodes. I guess if it’s marked as “watch Season” it will try to get everything in that season. Is there any way to tell Sonarr to only download an episode once and to not re-download after a file has been deleted?

Thanks

Use the “Ignore Deleted Episodes” option in Media Management settings.
