I'm trying to redownload a TV show that I purchased a while back, but it's still counted as being in my library even though the files for the episodes are not on my computer anymore. I'm thinking that the reason this is happening is because the folder for the series as a whole is still on my computer, but I don't wanna take any chances and delete that without knowing first.

Back up your library and completely delete the TV show from the working copy of it.

Do you still have the TV programme listed in the TV Shows section of your iTunes library ? If you do, then even if you no longer have the actual files on your computer iTunes will be seeing the entry listed in your library and assuming that you still have it somewhere - if you delete it from TV Shows it might then show in the Purchased link for redownloading (if it's still in the store and you haven't moved countries since buying it).
If not already doing so you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup copy of your downloads/library, the rights-holders could remove any item from the store at any time.
It's still listed, yes, but it isn't listed for redownloading on Purchases. It's also still in the store, but it's not giving me the "complete your season" option anymore.
I'm assuming you meant to delete the folder with the title of the TV Show. I did, and it didn't work.
If you still have it listed in the TV Shows part of your iTunes library (where you would click on it to play it) then you won't be able to redownload it - delete it from there, and then go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and see if it shows there in the 'not in my library' section for redownloading
It's downloading as we speak. Thanks!
