I've been downloading podcasts to Rhythmbox for a while and have now accumulated about 88 Gbytes of them. I would like to delete the old ones, say older then 4 months, while preserving the feeds. What's the easy way to do this? A while searching the web has produced no help, not even the location of a Rhythmbox mailing list.
Thanks in advance for your help - jon

Reposting - original reply @12:37 PDT was accepted for delivery but seems to have gone walk about.

Hi,
In rhythmbox.
* Select podcast you want to delete old file(s) from. * Like in file manager select all the files you wish to delete. [1] * Right click and select "Delete". * A dialog will appear. Select "Delete episode and File".
Wash, rinse and repeat. ;-)
[1] Holding down CTRL and clicking on each episode you want to delete or hold down SHIFT then click on the first podcast episode you wish to delete in a continuous group and then the last one.
Regards
Phil
