Server Version: latest

I’ve deleted a movie from my library a few weeks ago. I’ve decided to redownload it and add it back. The issue I’m getting is when I scan the library it doesn’t add the movie. I’ve tried with other movies I’ve deleted and Plex does the same it skips the file when scanning.

I’ve tried the Plex Dance but that didn’t work. How can I get Plex to add the movie?
