"Unmonitor and delete season + delete show if empty" action not removing ended series from Sonarr #2757

I want to automatically delete a show from Sonarr once it has ended (no more episodes coming out).

Previously, I used the "Delete entire show" action. It worked exactly as I wanted.

A few weeks ago, an update introduced a new option that I liked more: "Unmonitor and delete season + delete show if empty".

I thought this rule would delete seasons as I watch them and then delete the entire show from sonarr once the last episode of the last season is watched/deleted.

I have a show which has status ended, and it was correctly put in that collection using this section:

However, after the rule handled the show only the files were deleted and the show entry is still sitting in Sonarr.

I can see the following entry:

[maintainerr] | 24/04/2026 02:00:01 [INFO] [SonarrActionHandler] [Sonarr] Removed season 1 from show 'Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen'

Am I misunderstanding how this new action works, or is this a bug?
