So i just did a test as i was curious. My current config has
12K Movies
270 TV shows (ranging from 10eps to 1000eps, but mostly around 40 average)
8000 Home Photos
I don't have thumbnail extraction enabled and my library.db file is approx 515MB and the total space used by config/cache directories (not including transcodes) is 44GB.
I created a docker using exactly the same config/cache files (rsync'd) but pointing at empty media directories. I then ran a library scan and made sure that all the libraries were coming up completely blank. I ran the "People Scan" and every option in the maintenance tasks. I checked the log files to make sure that all the tasks had finished, then restarted the docker and did all the maintenance tasks again (i did this 3 times) also checking to make sure that Movies/TV Shows/Photos library were blank. Afterwards i checked the cache/config directories and surprisingly it was still using 31GB of space, so jellyfin does not appear to be cleaning itself up correctly.
The main directories were files were still held were
5.8GB in /config/metadata/People
23GB in /cache/images/resized-images
