anyone know what the last option does? I want to remove movies that were added by the list but were then taken off it. but the way it’s written, it sorta implies that all movies that aren’t on a list will be removed, which is what I very much don’t want.

    I’m really sorry for reiterating this, but what you wrote also implies that movies that weren’t on any list will also be deleted (don’t want that), along with the movies that were on a list and now aren’t (do want that). do you have first-hand experience with this?

      That’s how it works. I don’t think many people use the option.

      If it helps, you could choose the keep and unmonitor option, and then once you’ve confirmed that it does indeed impact movies not on your lists (by unmonitoring them), you can disable the cleaning option (or choose a better option for you) and update all your movies back to Monitored.
