By default, DoggCatcher will not automatically delete any media files. Auto deletes can be enabled in the Feed Options. Scroll down to Auto Delete Policy and make a selection.
Note that media is deleted when a feed is updated.
Auto Delete Policy
- None - media will not be automatically downloaded
- As space is needed - DoggCatcher will delete done media as needed (to keep within the auto-download quantity) when there is new media ready to be downloaded. Available SD card space does affect this deletion policy in any way.
E.g. - If you have auto-downloads set to 5 and 'As space is needed' configured, the oldest 5 new items will be kept. Once one of the 5 items is flagged as done, it will be deleted and the oldest new un-downloaded item will be downloaded. This essentially creates a sliding window of new items whose size is the value of auto-downloads. The window slides along the oldest end of the new items. Confusing...yep.
- Episodes that are done - media flagged as Done will be deleted when the feed is updated.
- Keep latest X, where X is the value of auto-downloads - This will delete all of the oldest media except for the newest x media files where x is the number configured for auto-downloads. It will delete the oldest regardless of whether the media is flagged as New, In Progress, or Old.
