3 Libraries (of 5) are not able to empty trash or be removed via the “delete” function in the server gui. There was some file corruption that prevented the server from booting properly, after running FSCK it was able to boot and appeared to be successfully repaired, but now 3 of my Libraries (Cartoons, Music, and TV Shows) throw errors emptying the trash and also cannot be deleted via the GUI ( I was ready to just delete the libraries and re-create). I have performed the database repair using the SQlite dump commands provided in (Repair a Corrupted Database | Plex Support) but it seems to make no difference.
My libraries are fairly large (100TB+) and I would prefer repairing them rather than re-creating them, but at this point I’m open to almost anything.
It appears the repair attempt of your library has failed. Your options are probably down to (a) restore your server from a working backup or (b) start over with a new database. With such a large library I hope you have backups…
Unfortunately no backups, I’m ok with starting over with a new database. How could I go about removing the old libraries and re-creating? I currently cannot delete them from the GUI. They disappear for just a brief moment and then come right back after deletion.
