How do I remove a server form the side bar? The server no longer exists but I can’t find a way to remove it from the side bar.

Thank you for the link Otto. However, the old server isn’t listed there.

Are you juggling with two plex user accounts in the same local network?  
It might be a local server that is or was running on a local device.

Its a buddy that moved his server off a computer and onto a NAS. The old server is what is still showing on the left hand menu and I can’t delete it. Just says it can’t be found. His new one shows up just fine.

He is in a different state so not on my local network…

Go to Settings → [Manage Library Access](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/manage-library-access).

You should see your buddy listed.  
Click on his name.  
Choose the Libraries tab.  
Is his server listed in the “You have access to” section?  
If so, choose Edit, then Leave Server.
