Garbage icon appearing on top of TV show

Plex Media Server
1

I’ve been using Plex for many years. I am by no means a techie, but I’ve always been able to figure everything out without needing help, but I am really stumped on this particular issue. One specific TV show has developed a garbage can icon that overlays on top of the poster. I don’t know what this means and why is it just that specific TV show. I have eight seasons and this isn’t a new TV show that I just recently downloaded either. I’ve had this same TV show for several years in my collection. What is this garbage can mean and how do I get rid of it? I’ve never posted in here before, so please don’t roast me if I don’t do something properly but I would really appreciate some help.

Server Version#: 1.40.2.8395

The icon means Plex couldn’t find that a particular file when scanning your library (or a drive wasn’t found at all). With TV Shows, Plex will show the garbage icon on the show if one or more of its files are missing – if you drill down to the seasons list, you should see in which season a file is missing etc.

It’s usually easier to switch the library to Episodes and filter it by Trash… this will show you the files Plex deems missing.
If the file’s still there, the next library scan should pick it up again.
