Hello everyone,

i am running sabnzbd together with sickbeard on a windows home server now since a bit more then a year, and everything was running smooth. usually i dont pay much attention to the programs just two or three nights in a month we sit down and enjoy some of the new episodes that have been automatically downloaded.
while i have sickbeard set up to replace the hd tv rips of the shows with dvd rips when they become aviable it never appeard to work. two days ago sickbeard decided that it would be time to look for the dvd rips and dumped 1 compleate season of 10 different shows into sabnzbd.
while it seems to have worked after 4 seasons my hdd was full and sab stopped the downloading. when i saw what happend i went to clean up the hdd and unpaused sab, but nothing is happening. 0 connections, 0 downloadspeed and the reamaining 6 seasons show 0:00:00 left. in the history i have also purged everything but still have one entry left. claims to be grimm s01e01 but is actually a 24GB(!!) file containing lots of different shows and episodes and movies besides grimm. since two days not that enty is having the status of "unpacking" and "unpacking faild, write error or disk is full?"
This entry also has no remove button so in cant get rid of that entry. i also tryed to restart sabnzbd, repaired the queue, and restarted the server. nothing changed anything. i was also looking in the directory stated in the status message of the download but it is also empty.

how do i get rid of that entry and get sabnzbd to continue downloading again?

Not sure what to make of your account.
If the temp download and the final destination are on the same drive,
that your disk will remain full and you're stuck.

The general method of getting rid of a specific item is to
delete it from the "incomplete" folder.
"Remote desktop" into the server and remove the folder manually.
After that restart SABnzbd.
