A download fails because of low disk space.

I make room for unpack and tell it to retry.

The file is unpacked successfully but an empty FAILED_xxxx folder is left behind.

Other than that: works like a treat

Edit: using Sabnzbd 0.6.9 and Windows Vista 32-bit

That's normal.
You're supposed to clean up the failed folder.

Well, if it fails I can understand. However, I made sabnzbd retry the unpack and it succeeded. Then it deleted all the rar-files within the FAILED_xxxx folder, just as I would expect. The only thing it didn't do is delete the empty FAILED_xxxxx folder. That doesn't make sense to me.

I'm normal too, but I know there's always something left to improve

Normal, in the sense that that's the way it works.
We're very hesitant to delete any data.
In this case automatic cleanup would be sensible, but so far not implemented.

Thank you for clarifying how it works and most important why.

It's not a big issue to me, so I will continue to enjoy sabnzbd just as is, for a looooooooooong time ^^
