Did that already when I saw it there.
The only preferences.xml file is in the root of the “Plex Media Server” folder. I opened it in notepad++ and searched for the drive letter of the drive I used for a few days. Nothing.
That’s a good thing, but all of my MEDIA drives are external, USB3 or better. The only internal drives I keep are the system drive and optical drives.
I saw that addendum, but it is in the same key:
I didn’t make any change there so I didn’t have to undo any change there in this regard. The only drive reference I ever saw in that key was the change I made to move the live data. The default key had zero drive references in any of the strong data. I deleted that created string value when I moved the data back. For some reason it recreated the “new” directory that I had not only moved the data back out of, but deleted the folder entirely.
I rebooted and Plex had recreated the DB folder structure in the temporary location on the drive I’m no longer using. I shut down Plex server, deleted that folder AGAIN and as as soon as I started Plex server back up, it recreated it all again immediately.
I looked at the reg key still no reference to any assigned paths. Still no reference to that drive in the preferences.xml file.
Ugh…
