TV Show becomes a ghost!

Sonarr – latest version as of 10-12-2016.

Problem: One or more TV show entries exist in Sonarr that do NOT exist on disk and prove to be problematic to remove from Sonarr.

How it happens: I use a player that deletes shows once I’ve watched them. If the Season folder is then empty it removes that folder. If the TV Show folder itself has no Season folders then the TV Show folder is removed. This will cause Sonarr to NOT remove episodes because the TV Show folder itself is now gone. If I manually create the TV Show folder (empty) … then create s??e??.mkv dummy files, then in Sonarr I can remove the ghost entries.

Can Sonarr be fixed so that if “update series info and scan disk” or the task “refresh series” is run and that if the TV Show folder does not exist then remove the ghost entries from Sonarr as they do not exist on disk?

Thanks a zillion guys.

create a dummy file in the series folder, just a .txt. :slight_smile:

(The series folder must exist for Sonarr to delete episodes, otherwise it thinks it might be an unmounted drive)
