# Auto-Delete Finished Podcast Episodes
The Cleaner removes a podcast episode from its feed after you finish listening to it. You build it in Kortex Automation with the trigger **Episode Finishes**, so a feed of Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) Audio Overviews stays tidy.
This needs Kortex Pro. See [pricing](https://www.kortex-notebooklm.com/#pricing).
## Why use the Cleaner?
It is like a waiter who clears your plate when you are done. The table stays tidy without you asking.
- Your feed only holds new things.
- You never clean up by hand.
- It suits news and daily updates best.
## How do I set it up?
1. Open **Automation** and click **Create Pipeline**.
1. Name it, for example "Clean Morning Commute". Press **Next**.
1. For the trigger, click **Episode Finishes**.
1. In **Select Podcast**, pick the podcast to keep tidy. Kortex shows **Auto-Delete Enabled** and a note that episodes will be deleted after playing.
1. This rule needs no other actions. Press **Next** and save.
## Example
You finish an episode in _Morning Commute_. Kortex takes that episode out of the feed.
:::tip Good to know
- Older versions of Kortex had a separate Cleaner screen. Today it is simply a pipeline built in the same wizard as every other rule. If you had a Cleaner rule before, Kortex moved it into a pipeline once, named after the old type.
- Removed episodes leave the feed. Turn the rule off with its switch if you want to keep them.

## When does the Cleaner run?
Rules run in the background whenever Chrome is open. Scheduled rules are checked every 15 minutes. Whether a rule is on or off is kept on this computer.
