Filebot Script Not Deleting Files When Complete

Post by spetrillo »

It seems that about 2 or so weeks ago my Filebot script started not to delete files after processing. Here is the script I am using:

-script fn:amc --output "E:/Media" --action move --conflict auto -non-strict "E:/Torrents/Complete" --log-file amc.log --def music=n --def clean=y --def deleteAfterExtract=y --def excludeList=amcexcl.txt --def reportError=y --def gmail=

Here is the output from the AMC log:

Run script [fn:amc] at [Mon Jan 28 06:00:02 EST 2019]
Parameter: music = n
Parameter: clean = y
Parameter: deleteAfterExtract = y
Parameter: excludeList = amcexcl.txt
Parameter: reportError = y
Parameter: gmail = *****
Argument[0]: E:\Torrents\Complete
Use excludes: E:\Media\amcexcl.txt (1087)
Input: E:\Torrents\Complete\Madam.Secretary.S05E13.1080p.HDTV.x264-LucidTV[rarbg]\madam.secretary.s05e13.1080p.hdtv.x264-lucidtv.mkv
Group: [tvs:madam secretary] => [madam.secretary.s05e13.1080p.hdtv.x264-lucidtv.mkv]
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB]
Auto-detected query: [Madam Secretary]
Fetching episode data for [Madam Secretary]
[MOVE] From [E:\Torrents\Complete\Madam.Secretary.S05E13.1080p.HDTV.x264-LucidTV[rarbg]\madam.secretary.s05e13.1080p.hdtv.x264-lucidtv.mkv] to [E:\Media\TV Shows\Madam Secretary\Season 05\Madam Secretary - S05E13 - Proxy War.mkv]
Processed 1 files
Clean clutter files and empty folders
Delete E:\Torrents\Complete\Madam.Secretary.S05E13.1080p.HDTV.x264-LucidTV[rarbg]\madam.secretary.s05e13.1080p.hdtv.x264-lucidtv.nfo
Delete E:\Torrents\Complete\Madam.Secretary.S05E13.1080p.HDTV.x264-LucidTV[rarbg]\RARBG.txt
Done ヾ(@⌒ー⌒@)ノ


Has anything changed in the processing of files after processing? Am I missing an option? I am running this as a Windows automated task.

Thanks,
Steve

Logs look good. So you're saying the files it says are being deleted, aren't actually being deleted?

Code: Select all

Delete E:\Torrents\Complete\Madam.Secretary.S05E13.1080p.HDTV.x264-LucidTV[rarbg]\madam.secretary.s05e13.1080p.hdtv.x264-lucidtv.nfo
Delete E:\Torrents\Complete\Madam.Secretary.S05E13.1080p.HDTV.x264-LucidTV[rarbg]\RARBG.txt

Correct...its not getting removed. I have been using this script for years and all was good. It looks like it started maybe a week or so ago. I can delete these manually, so I know I am not being locked out at the disk level, unless the Windows task scheduler is screwy in Windows 10.

Well, FileBot certainly tried to delete the files then, but if Windows doesn't allow it, that's that. I guess your torrent client still had a file lock on these files at the time, which was later released allowing you to delete the files manually at a different point in time.

I guess the easiest solution is to just call the cleaner script separately once in a while, to take care of stragglers that were left behind the first time around.
