/Plex Media Server/Media, this directory size is too large, even i delete some my media resource , the size also not changed, so I wonder what it’s about.

can i delete it?

I install plex server by docker, image is plexinc/pms-docer

After you remove media

  1. Scan Files
  2. Empty Trash
  3. Clean Bundles (This reduces the size of the storage for Media and Metadata)

Scan Files? all of my media resource?

so, this directory can be thin? but it’s not a system task by automatic , must be do it manually.

see Why is my Plex Media Server directory so large? | Plex Support

sorry, i just want to know if I delete the media library, the data will be deleted automatically? or i must delete all the /media and scan again?

Plex needs that stuff. In most cases you can delete it, but Plex will recreate them if needed. Plex will automatically remove old stuff eventually. You can also do it manually with the steps mentioned by Chuck above. These commands are from within the Web client if you were confused.

ok, thx.
