Media Cleanup Snapshot • 2026-05-21

11.48 TB cut loose.

This cleanup pass cleared a heavy chunk of the Grizzly media footprint. Movies were removed from Radarr tracking, stale TV seasons were unmonitored in Sonarr, and the target folders were dropped from disk so the space actually came back.

The movie pass was a quick hit. The real weight came from dead TV seasons parked on the cold and primary media shares.
