Artists still exist after removing all files from Music, emptying trash, and cleaning bundles

Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639
Player Version#: PlexWeb 4.140.1

I was going through the steps of doing the Plex Dance on my music library. I went through the following:
-Removed all files from the library folder
-emptied the trash on the Music library
-cleaned bundles on the server

If I then go to view All > Artists > by (anything) there are 5 artists that still appear. If I click on each artist there is no media displayed for any of them, but no matter what I do I can’t seem to make them go away.

Please help

Have you tried Optimizing Database? ( in Troubleshooting section off server settings)

I just did that, then emptied trash and cleaned bundles again just to be safe. All 5 artists still show up

If the library is already totally purged it seems like there is nothing to lose from deleting it entirely, then recreating it. If the library is gone it seems like that has to blow away the artists too.

Definitely the nuclear option, but that worked. Thank you.
