I can not remove this former friends’s server which is not existing anymore:

(“Retry connection” does not work)

- I deleted all Authorized Devices
- Settings → Manage Library Access is completely empty. I can’t leave the server.

What can I do?

Go here: [https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/manage-library-access](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/manage-library-access)

Find your former friend and click on him/her  
Then on your friends server, select `edit` and you should be able to leave the server

I just looked up your account, and there is no server shared with you!

Make sure that the old server simply isn’t just pinned in like the web client or other players

It’s solved now. The solution was that my friend deleted his server in Authorized Devices.  
After that I deleted my Browser Cache und logged back in.

Thank you for your help!
