Cannot delete Plex library

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: Version 1.18.0.1944
Player Version#:

I have an old plex library that I cannot delete.
I go through the process of delete and it says deleting and all the albums have the TRASH symbol on every album but when I empty the trash, its says “Problem in emptying Trash.”

New to Plex. Please help.

Thanks
JD

Just let it sit for an hour or so, doing nothing.
Then stop and restart Plex server.

You might also want to verify that your Plex database is not damaged.

  1. activate debug logging (not ‘verbose’!)
  2. quit Plex Server
  3. wait 1 minute
  4. start Plex Server
  5. wait 5 minutes
  6. fetch log files and attach them here

Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the Plex Media Server.log file and seek for messages about database corrupt or malformed.
If you find these, you may have to repair your database.

Just as I feared: your database file is damaged.

Please follow the instructions in the linked article to repair it.
