Adds a bulk request management panel to Jellyseerr with filters, selection, and mass deletion
Jellyseerr / Overseerr lacks a built-in way to bulk
manage requests. If content gets removed from your media
server, you're stuck deleting requests one by one — and
even then, the media entry stays in the database,
preventing you from re-requesting it.
This script adds a slide-out panel to any Jellyseerr or
Overseerr instance with everything you need to clean up
requests in bulk.
What it does:
• Filter requests by status: All, Pending, Approved,
Processing, Available, Unavailable, Failed, or Deleted
Media
• Browse all requests with posters, titles, release
years, requester name, and status badges — fetched
directly from TMDB
• Select individual requests or use "Select All" to pick
every request matching the current filter
• Mass delete requests in one click — the script removes
both the request AND the associated media entry, so the
content can be re-requested immediately
• Purge orphaned media — if you previously deleted
requests through the default Jellyseerr UI (which only
removes the request, not the media entry), click "Purge
Orphans" to scan and clean up stale media entries that
are still blocking re-requests
• Works on every page, not just /requests — the panel is
accessible from anywhere via a floating button in the
bottom-right corner
How to use:
1. Navigate to your Jellyseerr instance — a floating
button appears in the bottom-right corner
2. Click it to open the side panel
3. Pick a filter (e.g. "Deleted Media" to see requests
for content that no longer exists)
4. Select the requests you want to remove, or click
"Select All"
5. Click "Delete" and confirm
6. To clean up leftover media entries from previous
deletions, click "Purge Orphans"
Requirements:
• Jellyseerr 1.x / 2.x or Overseerr
• Your account must have the "Manage Requests" permission
• No API key or extra configuration needed — the script
uses your existing browser session
