# Excluding a directory
|
|
|
|
Directories, and their respective media files, can be excluded from the library scan. This can be achieved by placing a `.ignore` file in the directory you want to exclude. As a result, the directory, and it's subdirectories, will be excluded from being scanned and shown to the end user.
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
|
|
When placing a `.ignore` file inside a directory, make sure to refresh/ rescan the metadata afterwards for it to be applied.

The example given below results in the directories `Season 03` and `OST` being ignored:
|
|
|
|
```txt
|
|
Shows
|
|
└── Series (2010)
|
|
├── Season 01
|
|
│ ├── ...
|
|
├── Season 02
|
|
│ ├── ...
|
|
├── Season 03
|
|
│ ├── .ignore
|
|
│ └── ...
|
|
└── OST
|
|
├── .ignore
|
|
└── ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::caution
|
|
|
|
Currently, placing a `.ignore` file inside an [`Extras`](/docs/general/server/media/shows#extras-folders) directory [does not work](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/9571).
