Remove the `4kTV` folder from your tv show library.  
Peform a library scan,  
then empty library trash.  
Then let Plex compress its database.  
Followed by “Clean Bundles”  
(The latter two can be triggered under Settings - Server - Manage - Troubleshooting)

The above is basically a [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) for the whole 4k folder branch at once.

If you named and organized your files inside the 4kTV folder strictly according to the rules for TV shows in Plex [Naming and Organizing Your TV Show Files | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-tv-show-files/)  
you should be getting your shows correctly recognized when you add the 4kTV folder back to your library.

NB: don’t expect to get a separate poster for the 4K version, if you have a particular tv show both as regular resolution and as 4K version.
