[WINDOWS] XBMC Pre-Eden / TRUE database cleanup
#1
Dear all,

I have been using XBMC for quite a while with the same movie / music database.

I am managing / deleting my source from time to time (i.e. removing movies I will no longer watch) and always perform the "cleanup library" command in XBMC.

My database is then up-to-date within XBMC and unexisting titles are properly removed. BUT, the size of the database itself on my hdd is growing and growing (now aroung 1GB disk space); my simple guess is that XBMC removes the info in its SQL database but does not clean all the corresponding files it created for it (mainly .jpg for poster, fanart, ...).

Is there any way to COMPLETELY cleanup XBMC database from old entries, incl. all the remaining unused files on HDD?

THANKS a lot for your support.
Best,
TrueGordon

Clean library does not remove images associated with library entries. This may be the cause of your problem. When you say your db has grown in size do you mean the actual video34.db file or the XBMC directory under %appdata%?

If it is the directory there is a script that will remove unused images from your thumbnails directory. Check it out here
