Exclude library from scan?

Is there anyway to exclude a library from scan?

I have a huge Cartoon library that is all cloud based and I don’t ever update it anymore. I want to keep it, but the scan of it takes forever. I also could get API bans for hitting the cloud often to check, but I want my other folders to update often. Anyway to exclude particular folders from being scanned if I wanted to leave the scan every 2 hours?

You might be able to use a .plexignore file

But I don’t want it to remove what’s in the directory when I do a full system scan, I just want it to skip over the " G:\Shared drives\Dw!zFLIX - Rclone\Cartoons (Smaller) " directory and go onto the next one. I still want the files accessible… .plexignore seems it will remove the folders if placed in the root after the next scan
