What Deleterr actually does
Deleterr is an open-source media management utility designed to automatically prune watched and inactive files from Plex, Sonarr, and Radarr libraries. It operates via user-defined configuration rules to free up storage space without manual intervention. Distributed under the MIT licence, it is packaged as a Docker container.
Best fit: Self-hosters who run automated media stacks and frequently run out of disk space due to accumulated, unwatched content.
Worth knowing: With a modest developer community and repository metrics suggesting moderate activity, you may encounter edge cases or lack of support for newer API changes in downstream media applications.
Deployment notes
As a Docker container, it typically requires persistent volume mounts to retain configuration data and network access to your existing media server instances.
