Once Plex has ingested an artist or album or movie or…  
it won’t change anything if you edit the metadata of the files afterwards.

There ist the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-incorrectly-identifying-tv-episodes/100265/4 "Plex Dance") to force Plex to view at files as if it has never seen them.  
(with Music you can omit step 4)

You’ll have to remove all albums & tracks by this particular artist, when performing the Dance.
