Deleted media keeps returning after scan

I’ve deleted a series from my library, everytime I scan for media it returns. The files even show “file unavailable”. I’ve emptied my trash as well. Is there another way to permanently remove this metadata?

Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639
Player Version#:

delete from the menu in the player should remove files and db entries immediately.

If you do a get info in the web app does it show the old path?

I originally deleted the files outside of Plex. But I have subsequently tried deleting from the Plex menu too. Get info shows the old path to the files that doesn’t exist.
