I deleted a tv series from PLEX, now plex won’t re-add it.

I have tried the plex dance - no dice.

What can I do to get PLEX to see it again!?!

Show name and folder structure. An example…  
`Scholastic Storybook Treasures`  
`..Season 01`  
`....Scholastic Storybook Treasures - s01e01 - The Wheels On The Bus.mkv`  
`..Season 02`  
`....Scholastic Storybook Treasures - s02e01 - There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly.mkv`

Ended up restoring my plex appdata backup because no matter what I did it wouldn’t add it back. Had even tried renaming the series and files to scholastic storybook treasures from scholastic video collection.
