If you delete a movie or TV show using XBMC internal 'delete' command, the Movie or TV show will be gone "vapourized', should you follow the 'delete forever' path... The images, folders, metadata and thumbs remain, you can further delete just about any file using filemanager or the O/S file manipulator. Be sure to use the video clean-up utility in settings get rid of the images in your library.

So in xbmc i removed the movie source that every movie is removed from the library.
After that i went to SETTINGS -> VIDEO -> CLEAN LIBRARY.

But my user folder is still 780mb big.
I checked with a quick jpg search that there are still pictures of my removed movies in it.

I don't whant to delete the real file. Just the library entry and the pictures.

How do i do that?

A temp folder rename and after that a system video clean library will eliminate the images and meta-data from the 'library' , getting the rid of the images and meta-data will have to be done manually with a file-manager.
