Just tried the new 5.7.9 MySQL. All looked well, until I tried to clean my database. It couldn't remove items from my database be doing a cleanup, only manual deletion worked. It was a clean install by the way. Back to 5.6 it is ...

Your debug log (wiki) would have been useful.

I'm experiencing the same problem that Raytestrak.
Database cleaning in MySQL 5.7 fails.

In MySQL Workbench if I copy and paste the last SQL query, the db throws the following error

Code:

Error Code: 1093. You can't specify target table 'path' for update in FROM clause

I have a bit of experience in SQL Scripting, mostly T-SQL, but it looks like some problem while directly referencing the path table inside the sub-queries that are being joined in the outer tables to obtain the orphaned keys that are going to be deleted in the path table. So I tried to rewrite the query, but I'm not sure if the syntax is correct and it's not going to create inconsistency in the db.
Oh, by the way, in the MySQL 5.7 Reference manual, they say that, I think that is something they recently changed.

Subqueries

You cannot delete from a table and select from the same table in a subquery.

Anyway, it's just a snipset and I'm glad to help.

Code:

-- SELECT    t1.*
DELETE    t1
FROM    path t1
        LEFT JOIN path t2 ON t1.idPath = t2.idParentPath
        LEFT JOIN files t3 ON t1.idPath = t3.idPath
        LEFT JOIN tvshowlinkpath t4 ON t1.idPath = t4.idPath
        LEFT JOIN movie t5 ON t1.idPath = t5.c23
        LEFT JOIN episode t6 ON t1.idPath = t6.c19
        LEFT JOIN musicvideo t7 ON t1.idPath = t7.c14

WHERE    
        (t1.strContent IS NULL OR t1.strContent = '')
        AND (t1.strSettings IS NULL OR t1.strSettings = '')
        -- AND (t1.strHash IS NULL OR t1.strHash = '')
        AND (t1.exclude IS NULL OR t1.exclude != 1)
        AND t2.idParentPath IS NULL
        AND t3.idPath IS NULL
        AND t4.idPath IS NULL
        AND t5.c23 IS NULL
        AND t6.c19 IS NULL
        AND t7.c14 IS NULL;
