Empty Trash Does not Remove Content

To make it go away, you need to at least create the top-most “mount point” directory which PMS went looking in.

e.g.

If the previous disk was mounted as /mnt/disk3 and /mnt/disk3/movies is where all your movies were,

then,

  1. mkdir -p /mnt/disk3/movies # so PMS can see the top-most directory of where the library is.
  2. PMS now satisfied, A normal Scan files will look like the media has been removed and the media directory for that Library section is intact.
  3. Empty Trash
  4. Clean Bundles

It should all clear out.
