I leave stuff on there partly because a bunch of other people watch stuff and I don't know what stuff everyone wants to watch. And I only want to download things once.
Yes, 1TB seemed very very small but I understand now that you're doing things differently.
To be fair, i ended up getting another pi4 and setting it up with tailscale, samba, and jellyfin to give to my dad. As he kept needing to ask me how to get logged into my server. Now he just uses the tv app for jellyfin. I use samba to send him films and shows when he needs them and i remove his old ones in the same way. Works well. But i am now managing two libraries :p
