Removing old iTunes Podcasts

Hello,

could you guys please help me?

I've got too many Podcasts in my iTunes Library do I decided to let iTunes delete the oldest Podcast if there are more than five. (Maybe my sentence sound a bit strange because I'm from Germany :D )

My problem: iTunes doesn't delete anything!! I don't know if I do anything wrong but it doesn't work.

Maybe you have an idea how to solve this problem

I hope you understand me ^^ please help!

Well, since iTunes 7.1 this feature works for me. It deletes all the files as I refresh my Podcast list.

After all, I did solve the problem ^^

And it was soo easy. If you turn on auto download, iTunes will download the podcast episode.

What I did:

I played the episode and wondered, why this episode won't be deleted?! There are two main reasons.

1. You accidently turned off the auto-delete function for this episode.

2. If you don't watch your episode till it stops automatically, itunes won't delete it - Even if you say that this episode is already watched. You have to watch it until it stops automatically OR you set the time marker up to the end and watch the last few seconds of the podcast.

Now, all my watched podcast will be deleted and for me there are no more bugs in iTunes *juhu*

Hope this will help shmengie, too!

Bye
