Not deleting folders after download

Post by opentoe »

I have Sickbeard and Sabnzbd+ running on my Windows workstation along with all my databases and other things. After Sickbeard hands off the NZB to SAB to download it doesn't completely delete the temporary folder that's on my unraid server. I have to go in there manually on a daily basis and delete all these folders before they start adding up. I figured I would put this here since I would imagine lots of users use this software. I don't want to run Sick/SAB on my unraid server, I want to keep it on my Windows machine, which is why I built that computer to do. Any suggestions?

User folders / temporary download folder

That's where Sab throws everything it downloads and then post processing picks up. It is supposed to move, rename the download to another location (which it does) but a lot of times (not %100 of the time) the unprocessed folder it moved isn't deleted.

Have you looked in the log file (Status page) for error messages?
There's always a reason why such things happen.
