I think I figured out what happened.

A while ago, I bought a 5TB EHD to act as a media server for my ‘totally legal’ movies and shows.

Whilst adding a show, the prompt prompted up asking where to put the magnet, I accidentally where it says ‘Shows’ added a space before clicking ‘OK’ to add the magnet link to Transmission.

Now, I have two folders where the files are going. I add a file into the actual ‘Shows’ folder, it automatically adds it to the '‎Shows‎ ’ folder, as well.

I close Transmission and QBT and delete the spaced folder, and most of the files/folders are gone in the actual folder as well and I see some ‘New folder’ folders.

So, I can’t just delete it.

I try to merge to folders, but…

I have to admit: I’ve asked a bunch of questions on Reddit, but this is just a foreign concept to me.

Please someone help me. I don’t know what to do.
