Plex Media Server

Server Version#:laterst for synology dsm 7 x86_64

i just updated my synology DS916+ to dsm 7.0.1 After a little tinkering and some youtube videos i got everything to work again. but now i have 2 plex folders in my root. a plex folder and a plexmediaserver folder. can i remove the old plex folder or is it still in use and how can i confirm that everything has migrated properly before i do so then?

Per the documentation:

and the migration instructions in the next post:

and the Production release info for 1.24.2.4973 (which created the PlexMediaServer shared folder),

— YES, you can delete the Plex shared folder unless you want to use it for other purposes (like media).

The user Plex can be deleted to avoid future confusion.

The installer would have removed both of these for you had DSM 7 not stripped it of all necessary privileges.
