    My scenario:
    I record local tv shows and then have MCEbuddy cut out the commercials and move the files to another drive.  After the commercial cut it then deletes the original file that is located in the Jellyfin directory.  Is there a way to have Jellyfin automatically delete the data in its own directory without me doing it manually?  I have used Kodi for the past 8 or 10 years and it can scan for and delete those entries that don't exist.  I like the layout and simplicity of Jellyfin and would prefer to use it on my new Windows machine.

    if you mean delete from the jellyfin database then it already does this unless turned off, it's "Enable real-time monitoring" in the library entries config

    if you mean delete files from the disk then probably not

    jellyfin dashboard -> libraries -> 3 dots under an entry -> manage -> "Enable real time monitoring"
    also present when initially setting up a library entry
