Created movie node with wong format. How to change

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#:1.24.5.
Player Version#:web client
I initially tried a couple of movies with the format
moviename - year
moviename - year.mp4
movie2 - year
movie2 -year.mp4
etc …

the half dozen or so files that i tried seemed to work fine and Plex create a picture and name. So i thought OK … and i let plex work on my entire library. But Plex created a lot of duplicates for the same file name. One file would be called MOVIE and the next picture will be called MOVIE - YEAR.
So i guess i have to redo them all .. 4K files. How is it best to redo them? How do i clear out the movie node so I can start over?

What you are seen here are collections, where Plex Media Server creates a collection, when it expect that more movies could fit into it…

Notice below the pic for Air Force One that one has the year (The actual movie) and the other has a counter (The collection)

For more info, look here: Collections | Plex Support

Above article also tells you how to avoid seen things doubled :wink:

I read the article and didn’t see any way to remove the collection image. I went in and remove the collection information now it simply says 0 movies. Now what to do to get rid of it. thanks
