I'm not sure if .artist works the same way as .actor, since I rarely touch the music side of XBMC, but yeah, I totally blanked that it would still be needed for other clients to pull from.

Ned and Milhouse, thanks for the quick replies. I did mean .actors when I said .artist.

As I mentioned I did delete those files for a couple of movies and I was still able to view cast for the movies where I had deleted the files so it doesn't seem to make any difference on the client side.

Two questions remain: Why the last 6 movies I added didn't have these files AND what tools can I use to make the job easier removing these files?

Thanks to you both for all the support.
