> Currently when deleting a movie in PHT or Plexweb it only deletes the movie file. I have my movies in separate folders so I can add posters & trailers and stuff. So now I have to manually delete the folders which takes a lot of time. Would be nice and logical if it also deletes the containing folder with the same name.
