I was wondering why XBMC doesn't remove movies after they have been deleted, scan for new content and clean library doesn't do the trick.
What the correct approach to this?

I know I can click on a movie and say ok to remove, but what if I deleted loads of movies and can't remember which ones, isn't there an automated process for this?

Thanks in advance :-)

If actual content is deleted from the drive clean library should remove them from the db

I thought so as well, but it doesn't work :-(

clean library seems to be working now :-)

/userdata/advancedsettings.xml (you have to create it if you dont have one)

<advancedsettings>
<videolibrary>
<cleanonupdate>true</cleanonupdate>
</videolibrary>
</advancedsettings>

IMO this should be the default action. Or at least, offer the user to remove it from the library it it doesn't exist.

Thank you, but it's working now, just wanted to update/close the thread :-)
