Since Plex eliminated plugins, is there an easy way to determine what files are lost from a database after a drive failure? i have 4 movie drives, one failed WAY prematurely, under warranty. I just want to compile a list of what files are now missing THX ---

Even thought what @JuiceWSA mentions can solve your problem, this would be a lot faster: > [@Where to find list of deleted/cleaned up movies and tv shows](https://forums.plex.tv/t/where-to-find-list-of-deleted-cleaned-up-movies-and-tv-shows/337360): > > Hi All, I mistakenly formatted one of my drives on my unraid server, and I would like to find out if I can get the list of movies/tvshows that were cleaned up today from that drive. The drive was formatted late last night. I have seen the movies and tv shows count on Plex has dropped (as it should have, since there are less movies/TV shows on the server) Please, is there a log file where i can find what has been deleted/cleaned up?

That won’t work anymore since Plex no longer supports plugins. I noted this in my post. Plextools is a plugin, which I have installed but no longer functions. ---
