I recently started using Plex again since 2023. As a result, I removed access to all my users and cleared my friends list. However, it is still showing up in the API which is interfering with some of my apps which uses the API because it fetches users who no longer have access or are friends with me on Plex.

I saw this post: [Removed access to my PMS for some users but they still show in XML file?](https://forums.plex.tv/t/removed-access-to-my-pms-for-some-users-but-they-still-show-in-xml-file/871636) mentioning the same issue, and that I can have my legacy friends list cleared. Can an employee here help me with this?

By the way, I have given more users access to my server after I cleared my friends list from 2023. My question is, clearing legacy friends list also remove these new people?

Done.

It only removes them from legacy friends list. It won’t remove their library access.

Can I ask which third party apps you are using?
