Doesn't look like you are missing anything - if the video library clean is not removing shows then you may need to open a ticket on trac.kodi.tv. If the HDD isn't connected at the time of the clean then I don't think Kodi will remove those items.
If your version of Kodi supports it, you can add

If your version of Kodi supports it, you can add
@clean.showdialogs=yes
to your vclean
command which will display the dialogs in the GUI and should give you more feedback on the cleaning process. The equivalent for vscan
is @Scan.showdialogs=yes
. These both default to "no" in versions of Kodi that support the suppression of dialogs.After you have run
vclean
, have you tried dumping the metadata for one of the tvshows that should have been deleted? Does it include all the seasons and episodes, or just the tvshow "header"? There's an entry in Settings (which may be Kodi 18 only, I can't remember) that controls whether empty TV shows are shown or not.
