Move subtitle files from ProgramData\...\subtitles folder - Jelly1313 - 2025-10-10

I want to move all the subtitle files from my ProgramData\...\subtitles folder, located on my C:\ SSD, to each media 's folders, where disk space is not an issue and also easier to manage the subs.

I run my Jellyfin server on a Win 10 PC.
The " C:\ProgramData\jellyfin\server\\data\subtitles\" folder is almost 50gb, and over 45,000 files.  A lot of em are .ass & .sub files that are over 50MB.

I also removed the "Subtitle Extract for Jellyfin Plugin", thinking this might be the culprit.

Migrating subtitles next to media is not possible using Jellyfin. There should be better cleanup of files in the upcoming 10.11 release.
