I just went to watch a movie and my server said it wasn’t there, so I went and check the PC folders and all of my movies are gone. Not in any of the recycling bins, not anywhere, just gone. What would have caused this? How do I stop it from happening again? It’s been working fine for months then this just happened.
Here’s a link to the last few logs from Radarr.

Also under settings>media management>recycling bin set a path.
If there is no path things that get upgraded are just deleted instead of moved into your specified recycle bin.
I’ve got one set. Doesn’t seem to have helped.
Very odd, I would then have to guess the deletion of your file is then being done but another software/application.
I would first recommend to test the recycling bin in any of your arr apps by upgrading an existing release. The arr apps will move the old file into your bin on upgrade for you.
Then start by checking your paths. My guess is you may have your download application such as qbittorrent (qbt) posting your finished download directly into your media directory.
This would mean qbt downloads the file to the media folder, your arr app imports it to the same folder, then qbt deletes it after your seeding ratio finishes or after the arr apps finish import.
