Best practices when content has multiple versions

[hacktek]

Hello, I currently have consolidated libraries that may contain multiple versions of the same content (1080p + 4K in the same plex media item). Both are handled by different arr instances and the files are present in different base paths (both of which are added to the same library in Plex).

I've set up two maintainerr instances and am separating the collections by using a Sonarr/Radarr base file path match rule. This seems to work, as I only get 1080p content matching the rules in the 1080p instance of maintainerr, and likewise for 4K.

Now, my question is what will happen if an item that includes both paths is selected for removal: will only the matching file from the matching maintainerr instance be deleted? I'm assuming that this is correct, since I expect maintainerr to hook into Radarr/Sonarr for deletion and since that item is tied to that instance's base path then it should only remove that file (the 1080p version, for example).

Or does it hook into plex and delete both? I'm just trying to understand so that I can set up my rules accordingly.
