Originally created by @dinki on GitHub (Feb 6, 2019).

When deleting the last episode of a recorded program, JF should delete the entire program's directory tree. This is not happening. Artifacts are being left behind:

user@host:/data-drive/jellyfin_dvr_tv$ find Schooled/
Schooled/
Schooled/Season 1
Schooled/tvshow.nfo

These files/directories should be cleaned up and removed to prevent a bunch of empty directories and orphaned files.

Hi @pokreman06,
Yes, it's still an issue.
When I delete the last recorded file in a series, the folder and some additional files like ngo and pictures will persist.
