Jellysweep is a smart cleanup tool for Jellyfin media servers, written in Go. Instead of deleting by hand when the disk fills up, you define filters — content age, days since last stream, file size, favourites — and Jellysweep marks the media that no longer earns its space. Items sit in a configurable grace period first, during which your users can ask to keep them, and only then are they removed from Sonarr and Radarr.

Key Features

• Smart analytics — Reads Jellystat and Streamystats viewing data and checks Jellyseerr requests, so recently watched and requested content is protected.
• Tag-based control — Uses your existing Sonarr and Radarr tags as include/exclude rules, with no separate database to maintain.
• Disk usage monitoring — Reads free space from Sonarr and Radarr and shortens the grace period automatically when storage runs low.
• Flexible cleanup modes — Delete whole TV series, keep the first N episodes, or keep the earliest seasons, with deletes unmonitored in Sonarr so they are not re-downloaded.
• Leaving collections — Builds Jellyfin collections of everything scheduled for deletion, so users can see what is about to go.
• User keep requests — A built-in request system with an admin review queue and email notifications for approved or declined requests.
• Web interface and PWA — Dashboard, statistics, scheduler panel and installable mobile app, with notifications to users and admins.

Why Use Jellysweep?

Media libraries grow faster than disks do, and manual pruning is the chore everyone postpones until a download fails. Jellysweep turns that into a policy: candidates are chosen by viewing history and size rather than by guesswork, every deletion has a review window, and the whole thing runs as a single container alongside the rest of your *arr stack.

Use Cases

• Keeping a Jellyfin library inside a fixed disk budget without deleting what people actually watch
• Automating cleanup of long-running TV series while keeping the first seasons
• Giving household users a say through keep requests instead of surprise deletions
• Freeing space fast during a storage crunch with adaptive grace periods
