SOLVED: Audio Transcode Failing

[TheDreadPirate]

Transcodes are only kept for the duration of the playback session. Once that playback session ends Jellyfin cleans up the transcode files. Only if Jellyfin were to crash hard would those files stick around. But a separate transcode cleanup job runs once a day that would clean those up eventually. Transcode files older than 24 hours are cleaned up when that job runs.

If you have limited storage for transcodes, I recommend enabling both delete segments and transcode throttling. That will significant reduce the amount of disk usage from transcodes.
