I don't even know how to explain it. The symlink/hardlink to the file is described in the Microsoft knowledge base.
But the folder can look like this:
file1.avi
file2.avi
file3.cd1.avi
file3.cd2.avi
file3.cd3.avi
file4.avi ---> symlink/hardlink ---> other HDD, or network drive on other host
file5.avi

We have two modes of operation, one is file mode and the other is database mode.
In the first mode (shares), movies may or may not be in the database, but in this mode, if the file is physically there, it will be visible.
In the second mode (database), we see only what is in the database, regardless of whether the file is physically present or not. Especially it can be a network resource and if you try to play it, the file can be mounted and then it will be physically available.
In database mode, we also have a lot of ways to display data, it all depends on the view settings. And the level of detail in the data can be quite large.

Here it is difficult to provide for all options, so just delete what is not there at the moment is a bad solution, you have to do a lot of checks, etc. That's why automatic deletion is not the best solution. And the easiest solution is to let the user delete it himself. By hand.
