Context: I have two copies of a movie, both files are present on my disk and are catalogued by Kodi library. The files are at the same folder on disk.
I want to keep just the higher quality copy of the movie, so, I deleted one of the versions. Now, Kodi library must be cleaned to erase the entry for the movie that was deleted from disk.
What I did: Settings > Media > Library > Clean Library.
What I expected: Kodi should remove the missing entry from the library database, without ever touching the files on disk.
What happened: Kodi deletes the entire movie folder for good, including the files I wanted to keep. Kodi erases my files on disk.
This happened multiple times, and is terrible because it touches the files on disk, when it wasn't supposed to.
Software/hardware info: LibreELEC 8.2.5, Kodi 17.6, Raspberry Pi 3 B+.
DEBUG LOGS: check for how it handled the file Thor.Ragnarok.2017.1080p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AM].cp.mp4
