Deleting all files made by this plugin

[the-flamer]

I have removed the plugin from my system due to its infrequent usage. i was wondering how to delete all relevant data produced by the plugin in order to free up space

You can go to config/metadata/library/ here you should have many folders that look like 1b da c2 bf .... Once there search for every *.bif files and delete them.

As for disk space, to give you an idea of what to expect and wherever it is worth it, I currently have in my library 15 000 bif files related to about 25to of data. All these bif files currently weight around 30go (so, 0.1%). You might not free up that much space by deleting them.

If you're on a Linux machine, you can use the following list of commands on the system shell/CLI: find <insert-directory-path-here> -type f \( -iname "*.bif" -o -iname "*-manifest.json" \) | sed 's/\(.*\)/"\1"/g' | xargs rm -v

• You can check the man pages of each command to see what each thing does. Each command's output will be piped ("|") to the next command.
• This will search for all ".bif" and "-manifest.json" files in a given directory and it's sub-directories, then delete them. These two file types are what Jellyscrub creates for the trickplay files.
• Add the path to the directory you want to search through for the find command. Make sure to not included the "<>" symbols.
• The sed command will enclose the found file paths with "" marks so that the remove command can read file paths with spaces/special characters".
• xargs will call and run rm on the passed list of file paths found to delete them. The "-v" flag is used to print out to the screen what files are currently being removed. Remove the -v flag if you don't want any output on what is being deleted.
• If you want to make sure all the files that will be deleted are ones you're fine with removing, run the command without the final xargs command.
