As of today, is it necessary to use this task?

Hi,
Right now I’ve got a lot of GB being used up by Jellyfin’s subtitles path, and it got me wondering… is it even worth keeping them stored like that? From what I understand, subtitles are now handled better, but I’m still not sure (asking from a place of ignorance here 😅).
I’d like to free up a few GB, but I don’t know if I can just delete the subs folder, or if it’s currently tied to some task. Basically, can I safely remove it, or should I just leave it there? 

These are my paths and S.O disk usage (expand if necessasy):

Code:

server@msi-server:~$ discoss
S.ficheros             Size     Used  Avlble   Use%   Mounted
/dev/nvme0n1p2  233G    134G    88G    61%    /
/dev/nvme0n1p1  1,1G    6,2M    1,1G    1%    /boot/efi

server@msi-server:~$ sudo du -h /var | sort -rh | head -n 10
121G    /var
99G    /var/lib
92G    /var/lib/jellyfin
55G    /var/lib/jellyfin/data
52G    /var/lib/jellyfin/data/subtitles
38G    /var/lib/jellyfin/metadata
36G    /var/lib/jellyfin/metadata/library
19G    /var/cache
18G    /var/cache/jellyfin
9,0G    /var/cache/jellyfin/transcodes

Task:



Thanks in advance!

It depends on the clients you use. For example, on Android tv subtitles extraction sped up subtitle loading a significant amount until anout a year ago when the client implementation was drastically improved.
