Server Version#: 1.28.1.6104 Player Version#: Hello, So far I have been able to fix all my problems with Google Search but I can’t find a solution for my current problem. I am using DeepL to describe my problem in English. I have the current PlexServer version running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a…

There are many databases in the directory. The oldest one is from 2020. Can I delete old databases in the first step? The most recent database is about 230MB. How can I? Empty Trash Clean bundles Optimize Database (will shrink the actual DB size)

@B_llou You can remove the tmp databases too. They should not be there. In the future, I’d look for a bigger partition somewhere to move PMS to.

First of all, thank you for your help. I was able to clean up my system a bit and now I have some space again. What about the files in the media directory? /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Media Is there also a need for action here?

@B_llou You need the contents of Media and Metadata. I have seen users where their Plex installation needed 500 GB of storage. Their server ran on their NAS (native app install). I’m mentioning this because , rather than using your main root filesystem of the computer, you should probably con…
