Great. Episeerr just deleted all my episodes

[UltimaForma]

I already had a lot of series sitting on my HDD, so I figured I'd run Episeerr to delete most episodes and keep only the first 2 episodes of every series.
Since I recently installed my Arr stack plus Tautulli, Tautulli didn't show my watch history yet, since there was no data. I think Episeerr deleted everything because of this.
The concept of Episeerr is great, but it might need some polishing...

Sorry for your loss. This is why I have dry run options. Can you check your logs to see which rule triggered the deletion? If it was keep rules, watch history doesn't matter - it only deletes older episodes after you watch a new one. It assumes you watch in order. If it was cleanup rules (grace period, dormant, or absolute age), those rely on dates. Without Tautulli history, dormant series cleanup might not work correctly. Grace period and absolute age fall back to Sonarr's air dates. Always enable dry run when starting out! Check the logs to see what would've been deleted.

I did use the dry run option, at least, I clicked it. I now just downloaded the first two episode of every series I have, and will see if Episeerr will download the next in line.
