Deleted content persists

This is still an issue sometimes.

The behaviour that was requested in this ancient thread has been implemented.

If it doesn’t work for you, you need to check several things:

1) all paths listed in the properties of your libraries must be

  • available/accessible (permissions!)/existing
  • not completely empty

2) Empty trash automatically after every scan

must not be activated when your media storage is not 100% available. Don’t activate this checkbox if your media are on

  • network shares
  • external hard drives
  • cloud storage

3) Your database must be healthy

  1. activate debug logging (not ‘verbose’!)
  2. quit Plex Server
  3. wait 1 minute
  4. start Plex Server
  5. wait 5 minutes
  6. fetch log files and attach them here

Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the Plex Media Server.log file and seek for messages about database corrupt or malformed.
If you find these, you may have to repair your database.
