I'd like to tidy up my folders. Each movie has its own folder.
How to delete all unnecessary files automatically?
By "unnecessary" I basically mean everything except:
- movie file(s)
- poster
- fanart
- nfo
- subtitles

so for example:
- trailers
- old, incorrectly named posters
- logos, banners, disc art (I decided I don't need it after all)
- extra folders (like ".actors", "extrafanart", etc.)
Don't think Ember can help you, but it's quick and easy to do it from windows explorer, go to your root media folder and search the items you described and manually delete them, at least it's a safe metod
I was hoping the Edit / Settings / File system / Clean files can help me (at least partially). Many of those files have a specific naming pattern. Is it a proper tool to use?
