Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I'm not sure if this is due to a bug or would be a feature but I had a series that I had typoed so it used the wrong case, I corrected it and it shows up properly but the original typoed version still appears in the series list with 0 books.

I wish I could manually remove it.

(Maybe some kind of prune option could be run as part of admin maintenance too to just remove stuff like that.)

Why would this be helpful?

I don't like having an empty series in the list; it looks stupid.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Probably be on the "hamburger" that has the "Mark as Not Finished" etc options.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.22.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No response

That shouldn't happen. Did you have any non-ascii characters in the series title? v2.22.0 docker image was missing our unicode sqlite extension.

If you restart the server it will be removed. There is a startup script that cleans the database.

(I haven't had a chance to do any unit testing on this; I'll reopen or submit a new one with more data if it shows up again.)

I have the same problem here. My now unused series "Peter Exinger - Katzengeschichten CD 6+7" still appears with 0 books. It would be really nice to have the option to delete it manually.

If you restart the server it should be cleaned up. You should also be able to add a series with the same name and remove it again if you cannot restart the server.

The restart solved the issue - thank you for the hint.
Is there any way to get rid of unused 0-book series with restarting the server?
