There should be an option in the video library that you can toggle on or off that would allow you to be prompted with a DELETE? at the end of each movie or episode. Say I have the option and it’s off in movies, but on in TV Shows. Watch a movie, nothing happens besides being marked watched. Watch a show, after 90% complete, if I stop the episode or if it ends it should ask me if I want to delete the episode, before either auto-playing the next or going back to main menu. Right now after playing (especially in web browser) I have to navigate back to series and delete the watched episode manually. Process could be made all that much simpler. ---

You can set that in the properties of each tv show. ‘Advanced’ tab ‘Delete episodes after watching’ Careful with that option! It influences all instances of that series on your server. Not just the one on the current library. (If you have e.g. one library for the ‘good stuff’, which you intend to keep and one library for the DVR feature.) ---

duplicate feature request > **[Delete on finish](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/60696/delete-on-finish#top)** > > Like TiVo, delete dialog on finishI don't know how many folks would find this useful, obviously based on your use case. For me I use my tv shows and podcasts library sections in plex the same way I use my TiVo.
