Server Version#: 4.116.1  
Player Version#: N/A

Hi folks,

My plex media server folder is 83GB, and specifically the following folder is 66GB of that C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Media\localhost

Is that normal?

The above folder has a number of 4GB directories which are a single number or letter. I’ve run the database for a number of years. I’m not sure if there’s a way to tell how many films and TV episodes there is in the database. Likely to be hundreds, but not a vast vast number. All scheduled tasks are enabled.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like server-side assets like preview thumbs…
