Is there anyway to really clean the library.

The clean library option in settings seems to only remove entries in database file if the files are not present anymore.

i'm talking about stuff in here
c:\Users\NeKroSoft13\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\UserData \Thumbnails\Video

when you remove stuff from library it seems that the thumbs/fanart doesn't.

I renamed all tbn files in fanart folder to jpg. just to see what kind if files they are.

I some fanarts are double, triple or even more of the same fanart.

but manually checking which file is currently used for fanart and which isn't would take ages.

If you have all the correct files with your media ie Movie.avi movie.tbn movie.nfo and movie-fanart.jpg then you can of course just delete the thumbs folder but of course you will need to rescan all your media back into the library. as far as i know using clean library only removes dead links in the library it will not touch the thumbs folder as far as i know.

According to spiff it should, so if it doesn't there is a bug.
