Radarr: "Forget" old root folders?

[janipewter]

Is there a way to make radarr "forget" previously used folders?

I moved my radarr install from one server to another, and due to the set up of my shared storage, the file paths changed slightly. Example:

old setup, movies were located like:
/mnt/films

new setup, movies are located like:
/media/films

When I moved radarr to the new machine I simply imported the old config in, then did a mass edit of the movie paths to change them from /mnt/films to /media/films. It works fine.

However, radarr seems to "remember" the old path, /mnt/films, and when adding new movies, it always uses that as the default root folder.

What I want to do is make radarr completely forget that /mnt/films exists at all (because it doesn't, from the point of view of this server). Is it possible to do this?

The only real way to completely get rid of them all is by editing the database directly AFAIK.

You can use "add movie" -> "bulk import", then you'll have a pupop with your old folder (and also the new one), just click the red cross on the right and its reference will be deleted from Radarr.

Or everywhere you can add a new path (e.g. lists, adding new movies, etc.)

only i still get an alert under system saying "missing root folder" even when its not in the list under import anymore.

@Qiyamatawil Make sure you do not have any movies with that path still in your library.

scanned thru my near 2k movies via movie editor till my eyes hurt then just decided to select all and change "root folder" to the only location i am now using. did a restart and it seems to have cleared it up. thanks.

(this would have been much more difficult if i used more than 1 location though id assume)

I had the same problem where I moved everything from /volume1 to /volume2 but the /volume1 file path was still acting as the default for new movies I was adding.

To fix the issue manually, find your nzbdrone.db file and open it with DB Browser for SQLite (or any other program to handle SQLite DB files). Go to the RootFolders table and remove the row that contains the old path. Restart Radarr and you are good to go :)

For anyone that comes across this and still has this issue, I had to set a new RootFolderPath for all rows in the NetImport table.

Until doing so, all newly added movies from lists would download to an old path irrespective of whether they appeared to be correctly set in the Lists tab.

Reporting here, I had to change the path in Ombi, otherwise all new movies requested would set themselves as stored in the old root. After changing the root in Ombi, relocating all the dangling movies I had not ripped yet to the proper root and restarting Radarr, the warning is gone!

@dylanjboyd: To fix it coming from lists, I think you need to save the list with a different path, then re-save it w/ the right path. But if you only have one root folder, that isn't possible. I think the UI is pre-selecting the new root folder because it is the only one, which makes it look right. I'm not sure what happens when you save in this case.
