Friend sharing: "Sharing 14 libraries with this user" … when I only have 7 libraries (WTF?)

I have a server with several friends invited to share content. The "Users & Sharing" setting for each of these users currently shows that I’m “Sharing 14 libraries with them” … but I only have 7 libraries total to be shared. Checking the “Libraries” setting confirms this. I do think I know what this is related to - but don’t know how best to resolve the issue…

A while back, I had to migrate my server to a new physical host - and this brought with it a whole slew of problems after the transition (other users were still linked to the “old” server, and I had to enable them against the “new” one). I thought that I had since completely fixed this - and the only server still up and running is the “new” one. But, if even the User Settings indicate more Libraries than actually exist, it appears that Plex thinks the other server is still active.

So… Does this seem it might be the root cause of the concern? And if so: How do I actually remove all references to the “old” server? It’s not active; it doesn’t exist; it has ceased to be; it is an ex-server (and other references/apologies to Monty Python ;-). Do I really need to “uninvite” each user, then re-invite them to the new server? This is possible - but it doesn’t seem it should be necessary.

Any options?

Go there and delete the older server

Hey - wow; there’s actually TWO old servers listed there. Removing them, absolutely resolves the issue.

THANK YOU, @JasonNalley - this is exactly the information I needed! The issue is now resolved. Greatly, greatly appreciated!
