Clean files after a certain time

I would like to tell filebot that it should remove files after it has moved them, but not until after a few weeks or a month.
So it will keep seeding for awhile before removing it.
Is this possible ?

You don't need FileBot for that:

However, on Windows your torrent client will lock the files, so no 3rd party tool will be able to reliably delete any of the files that are being seeded. Built-in auto-remove support in your torrent client is the only good solution.

Problem is that unidentified movies might be removed if I do that.
Is there a way for filebot to copy unidentified movies to another folder ?
If I can do that I can have a script that just removes all files in download folder every couple of weeks.

Have you tried the --def unsorted option?

How does that one work, how do I tell it what directory to put it in ?

The unsortedFormat takes care of that. The default would be a folder called Unsorted in your output folder.

TL;DR just add --def unsorted=y and see what happens
