[https://thetvdb.com/series/star-trek-deep-space-nine](https://thetvdb.com/series/star-trek-deep-space-nine) Here is what I would do: Remove the entire show Scan Empty Trash Clean Bundles Fix the entire show - as shown Replace the entire show. That is exactly this: > [@The Plex Dance ™](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064): > > The purpose of this is to remove all cached metadata and xml data for an item that Plex usually keeps. This helps when you want to “start from scratch” for particular item move all files for the media item out of the directory your Library is looking at, so Plex will not “see” it anymore scan the library library (to detect changes) empty trash clean bundles (in menu next to server name, when accessed under ‘More’) double check naming schema and move files back scan the library Support articl… Best to start out right - so you can be right - and stay right. Get right: > **[FileBot](https://www.filebot.net/)** > > FileBot is the ultimate tool for organizing and renaming your Movies, TV Shows and Anime as well as fetching subtitles and artwork. It's smart and just works. …and let something else sweat the details… ![A Star Trek-1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/1/8/182158ca6c09a0ef5b80a14e87bf6cdf20c5036f.jpeg) It’s not ‘Nine’ - but when I finish the acquisition - it’ll look just like that above - all 7 Seasons in less than a second - with Filebot. I won’t have to fix my bundle - 'cause it’ll be right the first time. ---

If you didn’t fix it - you only delayed the inevitable. ---
