Unless I’m doing something wrong I find it quite difficult to remove my original media and keep just the optimised version. Plex seems to like to remove both. I think it would be really handy to be able to manage these a little easier. Certainly the option to remove the original file once the optimised version has been viewed to confirm it’s ok. For the brave the option to automatically remove the original during the optimisation process. This is handy were a lot of files are to be optimised and disk space is an issue. Obviously the original should only be deleted as an option (plenty of warnings) and only then when the conversion completes successfully.
