Sonarr Ver. 2.0.0.5163
Windows 10 WD Mycloud PR2100
Sonarr did not log this.
Well, its not really crappy, but this is unbelievable. How this even happened is beyond me, even if I try to find blame by myself. No other software has every acted like this. Ever.
So I set up Sonarr to download , rename and copy files to my NAS. This worked fine, but Sonarr did not create the title folder, only the season folder in the root folder.
So I had:
Z:\Root\Season
when I went to delete the series since Sonarr would not let me reset the path, I chose to delete the files as well. BIG mistake since Sonarr seemed to think the root folder was the title folder and deleted all contents in it.
How can this even be? and is there a way I can recover my files?
Ouch… I’m going to assume we’re talking about 3 TB, not a mere 3 GB.
I’m not familiar with how WD Mycloud works and whether it has a recycle bin mechanism. That should be the first thing to check. Otherwise I doubt the data is recoverable.
Sonarr has a recycle bin directory option, where it would’ve deposited those deleted files, but that’s not configured by default.
What we’d like to know is how you managed to configure Sonarr to use that folder for the series. How did you add the series to Sonarr?
When adding new series, you pick the root folder and sonarr creates the series folder.
When adding existing series, you pick the root folder and sonarr parses every subfolder.
I don’t see a method where you can bypass that.
If you have a copy of all the sonarr.*.txt log files, I’d like to see them. Those default logs might give a bit more insight in what really happened. We rather have actual debug logs, but that’s obviously too late now.
