Oh yeah deleting them isn't much of an issue, not a complete linux nub over here. My thinking was just...if an NFO existing is enough to trigger a disk read, how can Jellyfin possibly know whether the NFO file is there or not without checking the disk beforehand anyway? Kind of just dawned on me that the existence of an NFO can be stored in the cache, and it may then go try and retrieve the NFO file for any folder that it has marked as having an existing NFO.
Soooo, in that vein, I went into the library folders and deleted every single jpg and nfo file that was there, and to my surprise almost all the thumbnail images for the library disappeared. Even for those that were added after I disabled "Save artwork into media folders"! Currently rebuilding the image metadata, and thus far it doesn't look like it's outputting any jpg files to the library folders. I'm thinking this was probably the issue, but won't be certain 'til it's done recreating all the chapter thumbnails.
