MCEBuddy can’t (and shouldn’t) delete any external files by itself. However you can always add a `PostCustomCommand` in your profile which will delete any supporting files and then if the folder is empty MCEBuddy will remove it.

Here’s an example:

>
> Here’s one that should work, it invokes cmd.exe and passes a delete command to it to delete a SRT file that lies in the destination directory with the same name as the converted file: PostCustomCommandPath=C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe PostCustomCommandParameters="/c del "%destinationpath%\%convertedfilename%.srt"" PostCustomCommandHangPeriod=60 PostCustomCommandCritical=false PostCustomCommandUISession=false PostCustomCommandShowWindow=false PostCustomCommandExitCodeCheck=false
