Ghost libraries after deletion and media removal

Current Plex Pass iteration for Mac, running on a Mac Mini under Monterey.

This is a how-to-fix question.

I recently deleted three libraries from my Mac server, moving the media to a different machine. While the libraries have vanished from the regular Plex player interfaces (Apple TV, Roku, iPad, etc) they are showing up in the web app as below — greyed out, with an alert sign. Right now I have three of these. As I’m considering moving another library, I may well have a fourth soon.

How do I get the ghosts laid to rest?

Didn’t work.

This is the earlier topic.

Solved thanks to the other topic — just poke around until the three dots show up, and unpin the ghosts. For the future I’ll know to first unpin a library before I delete it, if only to prevent having to fish around to get the dot menu to show up.

That is, don’t use this menu (under “More”) as the ghosts don;t show there.
