Deletion Flow

Reclaimerr deletes candidates in a fixed order.

Deletion Modes

Mode Behavior
delete Delete through Radarr, Sonarr, or the media server route used for the candidate
move Move the file to the configured destination and remove the source record
fallback deletion Use the media server when ARR cannot handle the delete path

Routing Order

  1. Use Radarr for movie candidates when the candidate is linked to Radarr and the action can be handled there.
  2. Use Sonarr for series, season, and episode candidates when the candidate is linked to Sonarr and the action can be handled there.
  3. Fall back to the main media server when the ARR service cannot handle the deletion or no ARR route exists.
  4. Use local deletion only when that fallback is enabled and the candidate can be removed locally.

What The Fallback Covers

  • movie candidates that Radarr cannot remove directly
  • series candidates that Sonarr cannot remove directly
  • scoped deletions that need the media server to remove files or folders

Important Settings

  • Default ARR Delete Behavior
  • Allow Media Server Fallback Deletion
  • Add Arr Import List Exclusions on Delete
