Hi all
New to Plex, having fun!
Problem adding photos. I added the libraries and scan. Shows 300+ photos added, then trash cans start popping up, deleting photos. By the time it’s done it’s deleted all but 63. Why?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank You

The red trash can implies Plex can no longer see/access the file associated to a library item. If you have configured your library to automatically empty its trash after every scan, those will be deleted (see Settings > [Server Name] > Library > Empty trash automatically after every scan).
This configuration can be quite dangerous in combination with automatic/periodic scans (also Settings > [Server Name] > Library) and a storage with a wonky connection… sometimes it’s enough if an external / network storage is particularly slow to spin up or being mounted to a different path / drive letter.
Now… your case seems odd as the items are being added and deleted in one go.
Can you confirm the files are still available and accessible to Plex (e.g. correct permissions in case you’re on a Linux based system / NAS)?
Thanks tom80H for the very quick response. I am on my way to work will address your comments when I get home. TY

I went ahead and unchecked the "Empty trash automatically…"in the libraries.
Some more background that should answer tom80H’s questions.
Regarding the 63 photos that are not being deleted. They are in the Pictures directory. All the photos that are being deleted are in sub-directories in the Pictures directory.
Not using NAS. all files are local, on the machine hosting Plex server.
All the files are accessible and have full permissions. See ls -l output below.
