Issues Emptying Trash

  1. Have you ever used .plexignore files? If so, inspect them and remove path names from them which are no longer existing.

  2. Edit your library, go to the ‘Add Folders…’ tab and look for path references that are no longer in existence. Do also check if the path names end in either / or \. If so, remove them.

  3. last thing is to restart Plex Server, wait 3 minutes and then inspect the Plex Media Server.log file for mentions of database corrupt. If such a message appears in there, repair your database.
