After first installation I can not do anything with the initially created or new libraries

Server Version#: 1.41.3.9314
Player Version#:
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

I´m completely new to Plex. I have created PMS on my MacMini with MacOS Monterrey 12.7.6, added a library by just choosing the whole MacMini (yes-yes, a bad idea, but I found this afterwards and I´m not able to fix it now). So it scanned the whole MacMini, added all the Media files to this library, and seemed like to be working fine.

BUT

  • When I add new media, even if I run manual scanning, it is not shown up in the library
  • When I try to remove the folders from the library it says that ¨Your changes could not be saved¨
  • When I try to add new library (with the short path and some media, that was previously added successfully on the installation stage) scanning shows no media
  • When I try to delete the library it disappears for a couple of seconds and shows up again
    (and I tried to refresh all metadata, empty trash, optimise database in various combinations, re-install PMS etc.)

So basically I am stuck with the library it added on the initial setup stage. Googled for several days for any solutions, but can´t find anything (downgrading to 1.32.0.6918 sounded promising, but I don´t have any old versions, since I´m completely new to Plex)

If I need to provide logs (again, sorry, I´m complete 0 in Plex) - shall I just download them all (because right now, download logs gives me archive with 70 files inside), or should I perform any action before that

Thank you in advance for any help!

Okay, so I’ve completely uninstalled the server according to this instruction https://support.plex.tv/articles/201941078-uninstall-plex-media-server/ , and then re-created a server with just the folders, needed for Plex library + changed the name of the server, so it does not contain “-” (just in case, this could have had any effect). And now everything works fine!
