Tasks¶

Tasks are scheduled jobs that keep Reclaimerr running on its own.

Common Tasks¶

• Scan cleanup candidates - evaluates media against the rule engine
• Tag cleanup candidates - marks candidates in the media server
• Delete cleanup candidates - deletes eligible candidates when you opt in
• Sync media - refreshes connected services and libraries

Automatic Cleanup Deletion¶

Automatic cleanup deletion is intentionally opt-in.

To enable it:

1. Turn on the global opt-in in General Settings.
2. Enable the Delete Cleanup Candidates task in Tasks.
3. Review the schedule before letting it run unattended.

Reclaimerr skips anything with:

• active protection
• pending protection requests
• pending delete requests

The deletion flow is:

1. Radarr for movie candidates when available.
2. Sonarr for series, season, and episode candidates when available.
3. The main media server when the ARR route cannot handle the deletion.
4. Local deletion when fallback deletion is enabled.

See Deletion Flow for the full routing order and delete modes.

Manual Vs Scheduled Runs¶

• Manual runs are available for most tasks, but they still respect task-level guards.
• Tasks that require a main media server stay disabled until one is configured.
