A TV show will be added for every folder that you have in folders where the content is set as TV shows.
The reason this is happening is probably because you have some folders which are badly named in your tv folder.
XBMC uses fuzzy logic and so will try and recognise the closest match for any folder that it finds.
So to fix it delete any folders in your TV folder that do not actually relate to a TV show or try renaming folders of any TV shows that don't show up into something that is more likely to be matched on a search of the database

I still can't get rid of the problem, the series info says it's located in a directory called: \Users/ but I can't locate any such directory, let alone one where I back up videos to.

Exact same issue with the "Magic Users Club"
It's also showing it located in "\users/"
This thing is driving me nuts. If you delete it, it just keeps coming back. Gah! I've resorted to just renaming it "ZZZ" to put it at the bottom of my list, but it still bugs me.

Most likely some system folders that are picked up during the scan. Remove the unwanted series, enable debug logging and fire the scan. The pastebin the xbmc.log and post the URL here so we can check what's going on.

Hola.
Were you able to have any success getting rid of your phantom shows? Having the exact same issue with Magic User's Club within the \users/ directory. Tried deleting everything I could think of.
Thanks in advance.

I did actually. I believe it involved disabling the "Show hidden files, folders, drives" feature in the OS. I'm running a dedicated XBMC box on Windows 7.

can you post a debug log of the scan? also are you scanning recursively when you are doing your scans, what scraper are you using?

the option for scanning recursivly comes up when you select content for the given media.
but there's something wrong with how XBMC manages my tv shows, it keeps adding shows I do not have on my computer to the list: Magic User's Club (some weird anime) and Murder Book, is this a known bug or is it an addon problem?
