I don’t know how the other users manage their folders but i have one for each plex library (TV Shows, Movies, Etc.) I would like an option that consolidates the folders in order to remove files that are no being used by Plex and the unnecessary clutter of folders

This is agravated by the remove function of plex that eliminates only the video files remaining folders and othe files no needed any more, taking space on drives (lots of space) and it would improve performance aswell…

Please consider this

> 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.
