How do you clean up no longer needed *.Arr media? (alien.top)

The Arr (Sonarr,Radarr etc) software suite makes it easy to collect large amounts of media files, but as far as I can tell there is no easy way to remove said media when it's no longer needed.

For example, with one click you can add a movie to a trakt.tv list, where Radarr will later pick it up, download it via a torrent client, make symlinks of the files to the folder your media player searches and also download meta data for said movie.

But one day later, after you watched said movie, how do you clean this up? The only way I found is to manually go to the torrent client, search for the movie, manually delete it from the client, then manually delete all the folders and metadata Radarr created, and then manually refresh your media player library so it would notice the file is missing.

Is there an easier way, am I missing something simple?

You can search for the movie in your radarr library and then delete it from there.
