Hi,

This is a great script - is there any way to adapt this so that all the files are deleted not just the extracted files? I'm still seeding on my remote server, just want all the files off my local storage.

Sure, just make it less restrictive about what it deletes.

Hi, thanks, I've been trying to get this to work, I edited just one line at the bottom to change it to:

rm -r "${sonarr_episodefile_sourcefolder}"

and I'm embarassed to say I was trying it on Synology and ran into some permissions issues with Seedsync and while I got rid of those issues by switching over to unRAID - I am still not able to accomplish this.

I'm an absolute noob by the way, don't know any languages and new to all this but would love to get this to work.

When trying:
rm "${sonarr_episodefile_sourcefolder}"

I get the error: rm: cannot remove 'source folder': Is a directory

When trying it with -r, I don't even get a message. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Sorry for the double post, I got it working now! Thanks so much for this script, it really is a lifesaver as I don't have to manually delete things copied over from my seedbox now. I will share my edit but be warned...I may have made it so that it pretty much deletes the folder regardless of the checks you put in place, which in the case of sonarr/radarr for me, if it successfully imports the video file, I want it to do that anyway.
