Hi guys,

i posted the following discussion in Media Browser "Feature Requests":

First of all I must say I discovers Media Browser two weeks ago and since then I'm having the time of my life the my HTPC.
Very small thing that I can’t suddenly do, once I finished watch a movie, I used to delete it, with the Media Browser, the file is inside a folder and delete of the film from the Media Center with the remote, leaves the folder and the metadata file, so you keep seeing it in the list although no movie is in there
Is there a way to delete the whole folder from the movie menu?

but i was wondering, what are the tools/methods you guys using today to delete the folder after finished watching the movie (if you are using folder based movies)?

well you cant delete the movie folder after watching. Most don't want to.
if you do insist on deleting your movies then what you need to do is place them all in one and only one folder, not each movie in its own but a collection of videos in a single folder. that way you wont ever need to delete any folders.

Media browser will see each movie and still grab all the info for the movies and after you delete a movie the info will be droped from the MB cache.

Hope this helps ya out,
DS
