Hello and welcome to the Plex forums. I’m not sure what you tried but there’s basically 2 ways to delete content from Plex. 1 - have the media deletion setting enabled in PMS, call up the info for the movie, click the delete button next to the file name or 2 - delete the file itself from your drive, update the library containing that item, empty the trash if it’s not set to manually run ---
