Server Version#: 1.29.2.6334

I have a plex server that I used to have access to that is no longer online. It is in my list of servers and I cannot delete it. I have went to Settings-\>Authorized Devices-\>Servers and it is not listed there. My client keeps trying to reconnect to it and I need to remove it. Any suggestions are welcome.

Please give more information on the client. An issue like this is most likely client-based, not server-based.

Are you talking about a _shared_ server (i.e. not your own)?  
If so, you can “leave” the server in your Friends list.  
[https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/manage-library-access](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/manage-library-access)  
Click on the name of the server owner.  
Then “Edit” on the defunct server.
