Do I need to click on the X here? it says “Are you sure you want to delete the root folder ‘/downloads’?” so I’m a bit scared, it will not remove the actual folder and its content right?
Edit: I created a dummy folder and added and removed it and no file were touched! Thanks to everyone!
You must log in or # to comment.
Add a test folder, add some data, delete the test root folder and see if it deletes the data.
Create the folder you want them in. Add that root folder to Radarr. Batch edit the root folder of all movies to the new folder. Click on move the files for me. Sit back for a few hours while it does the rest. When the process is done, then you come back and click that x.
It’s one of many ways to do this.
I’m not sure how it will work, but if you’re worried, just move the download folder before you remove it from within the application. Better yet, if you have the space, just copy the folder somewhere else.
Hopefully someone else has a better answer for you.
This is one of the reasons docker is so great. If you were running the application in docker, you would have mounted that folder as a volume, so if you wanted to move it you’d just stop the container, move the folder, edit your compose file to point to the new location, restart, and from the application’s point of view nothing will have changed.
Just what I want to do, move files from A to B in an easy 8 step process!
I kid, I kid…
Docker is wonderful when it is used for the right purposes.
Probably not but if you want to test it create a directory with some fake files then add and remove it from the interface.
Edit: if you have any movies mapped to /downloads you should probably move them first.
