I was wondering, is there some sort of housekeeping in place that cleans up Incomplete / Cache folder when files are older than X days?
I just noticed that when I cancel an item in the queue, there are still a folder in Incomplete, and it has files in it.
Does sabNZBd clean the Incomplete / Cache folder?

Cache is cleaned.
Policy is never to delete downloaded files, so "incompletes" are not removed.

I think we should do better cleanup when a file is removed from the queue. If someone removes it from the queue I don't see the point of keeping the files that were downloaded.

1. It can be an accident you wanted to remove the next film in the queue
2. You needed only a few rars form the nzb that contained 90 rars. So you when they are dloaded you delete the item in the queue and then continue to work on the dloaded rars.

It would be fine if you could specify an "age-limit" in the Incomplete folder, and let the users decide how often, and if, the directory should be cleansed.

That seems like a better idea. Everything oldert hen 7 days can be deletedFlyveHest wrote: It would be fine if you could specify an "age-limit" in the Incomplete folder, and let the users decide how often, and if, the directory should be cleansed.
Re: Does sabNZBd clean the Incomplete / Cache folder?
I disagree.
Hands of downloaded files.
I would sooner move the content of incomplete to 'complete" to make it more visible.
Is it so much trouble to clean up the incomplete directory yourself?

Its not so much trouble, as it is a maintenance task that you have to do (and, remember to do), and I know that I am very bad at remembering to do those kinds of tasksshypike wrote: I disagree.

Having 2 switches, something like
CleanIncompleteFilesOlderThan (hours? minutes?)
CleanIncompleteFilesOlderThanSchedule (0 for disabled, -1 for onstart, hours/minutes)
would cater to all audiences, have it default to being disabled, and, if you'd like automated cleanup, then you can enable it.
