    Hello. I'm running Jellyfin 10.9.11 on Debian. I just discovered that my disk is full. Upon further investigation, I discovered that Jellyfin is eating a ton of space.

    Code:
    $ sudo du -h /var/cache/jellyfin/transcodes                                                                                             
    101G    /var/cache/jellyfin/transcodes

    I went to Playback / Transcoding. I enabled "Delete segments". It seems like this setting should work in the future to prevent Jellyfin from eating my entire disk.

    However, the current cache remains.

    What's the recommended way to clear that? Can I just
    Code:
    rm -rf /var/cache/jellyfin/transcodes
    or is there a button in the UI somewhere?

    Also, is it normal for the cache to get that big? The server is only used by 2 people with light to medium usage.

    Oh, actually, this thread https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-var-lib-jel...transcodes pretty much answers my questions. This post is a duplicate. My bad. There doesn't seem to be a delete post button...
