Added Quality Upgrades in Sonarr: Will it automatically delete old files and leftover season pack data?

Hey everyone,

I'm running Sonarr (v4) on Windows. I recently configured Quality Upgrades in my profiles, and it's working—Sonarr is actively grabbing better releases. However, during the upgrade process, it's downloading a mix of full Season Packs and individual episodes.

I want to make sure my hard drive doesn't get cluttered up with duplicate or junk data.

The Media Library: When Sonarr imports a new, higher-quality version of a season pack or single episode, will it automatically delete the older, lower-quality files from my media library folder, or do I need to clean those out manually?

The Download Client Folder: If Sonarr pulls a massive season pack just to upgrade a few episodes, what happens to the rest of the unwanted files sitting in my torrent client's download folder? Will Sonarr eventually wipe the torrent data, or am I going to have to manually delete these tasks?

If any of this requires manual cleanup, is there a recommended way to fully automate it so Sonarr cleans up after itself once the upgrades are imported?

Appreciate the help!
