How to get SABnzdb to clean up after itself

Currently my /Downloads directory is a mount with around 30G on it, it seems that the Downloads/incomplete directory fills up with old files, and then SAB (rightly) pauses itself.

What's the setting to automate cleanup of the complete/failed files? ...or do I need to script this myself and trigger it after the download is either complete or confirmed failed (and is that trigger for both types of events possible?)

I don't want to keep diving into the directory and cleaning it myself, the less this needs to be maintained the better

Is this left by failed items in the queue?
If so, you can schedule a removal of all failed jobs in Config->Scheduler.
Or manually purge the queue of all failed items.
Otherwise, some more investigation is needed into why debris is left behind.

I've set the job to happen every day, I'll monitor it and see if it helps :)

Thanks for the tips
