Empty Trash just for a specific Show

General Discussions Plex Features

Server Version 1.21.1.3830

So the story goes like this.
Kids TV Shows Hdd failed. -Totally, no chance of recovery-
So pain stakingley trying to rebuild the library from scratch.
Using the fact that Plex does not remove old content unless you “Empty Trash”, but that option is only for the entire Library.
Once i have replaced a season or even an entire show, i would like to “Empty trash” just for that season or that show, hence i can see what has been replaced and what has not.

Currently the only way to do this is to go into each episode and select “Get Info” and delete the “Unavailable” file.

Replacing an entire drive is a large enough project without having to do multiple extra steps.

Thanks to anyone that can help

You can avoid this situation, if you place the new file onto the exact same drive letter, using the exact same folder and file names as before.

Not if the old file was .AVI and the new file is MP4 as an example

True.
There is only one other option, but it’s potentially dangerous if you never worked with SQL before: [HowTo] Plex database modification - Moving media the right/wrong way

Will look into that, but is there a place to suggest this as feature?

6

There is, but this one has already been suggested before: Empty trash for one TV show at a time
So simply add your vote to it.
