1. Delete the folder
2. `Scan Library Files` for the linked library in Plex (e.g. from the `...` context menu of that library or `Settings` \> `Server` \> `Manage` \> `Libraries`)

# 

**Edit:**  
If you have configured Plex not to automatically empty its Trash after every update, you might need to manually trigger `Empty Trash` (library context menu: `...` \> `Manage Library` \> `Empty Trash`)
