Okay I've searched around the forums for about 2 hours looking at how to remove the Bg/video files from the beatmaps.. Simply put, i like a black background. I know how to do each beatmap individually but i have over 2,000 beatmaps constantly downloading more every night. I just dont see myself going through every beatmap i already have to delete those.

any suggestions on how to get rid of them quick?

If you delete the files, you will need to redownload every single map in the coming updates. Please do not do this.

How about junk files like Thumbs.db and blank OSB files? I apparently removed those because I prefer saving the tiny bit of space... :?

These junk files can still be found on even some newer beatmaps.

thumbs.db are automatically deleted before upload (if they are there, your PC likely created them). zero-byte files do not take up space and should not be deleted.

I downloaded and opened newer OSZ files with WinRAR, and Thumbs.db can still be found on numerous beatmaps, specifically beatmaps with another subfolders (often found on beatmaps with storyboards).

As for the blank OSB files, it's not zero-byte file. It has 197 bytes of file size with the following blank contents:
[Events]
//Background and Video events
//Storyboard Layer 0 (Background)
//Storyboard Layer 1 (Fail)
//Storyboard Layer 2 (Pass)
//Storyboard Layer 3 (Foreground)
//Storyboard Sound Samples

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY SEVEN BYTES.

Please PM me an example of a map with thumbs.db.
