Is it possible to recover server account

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639

I think I just managed to do every mistake possible to lose my server.
First I had to reinstall plex on an ubuntu server in docker. Fresh new install. When logging in I was presented a screen where I entered the name of my server, this created a second server of the same name. At that time i could see my old server as being offline. Seeing my mistake, I thought I would just remove this new one from authorized devices and start over. I guess I remove the old one too.

Restarting again I soght to bypass the “wizard” but have created a third server named plex!! Now any attempt to unclaim/claim a server takes me back to this third instance. I no longer see my old server in the web app.

Did I just completely kill my old server?

If you wiped the old PMS folder when you reinstalled then yeah it is gone.

Authorized devices is list of server it thinks you have. If it says offline it does not know where it was because never unclaimed before it went missing.
