Author Topic: How To Delete Entire Sub-Folder When Done Viewing A Video File  (Read 1085 times)

Hello all, I'm a new user, and I mean new as in only a couple of hours now.  I have JRiver installed and set up fairly well, for just a basic install at this point.  I imported a folder full of videos, with each video being in it's own sub-folder.

So here's what I'm asking for help with:

I watch a video file, and when finished, I want to delete that file, because I have no intention of watching it again.  I right click on the file, select "Delete", and then select "Remove from media library and permanently delete from disk"

OK, so it does delete the file from my HDD, but here's the problem I'm having.  The folder that contained the video file still remains.  Is there a way that I can configure JRiver to delete the containing folder also, and not just the file itself?

TIA

It should delete the containing folder if it is empty.
If there are still files in it, whether they are imported or not, Media Center will not delete them.

Ah, I see.  That would be the issue, then.  The sub-folders all have other, small, info files in them, and so none of them will be able to be deleted using the above method.

I think I found a work-around, and that is to right-click on the video file I just watched, select Location, which brings up Windows Explorer, at which point I can delete the entire sub-folder.

Many thanks for the reply!!
