i lost a drive on my computer. plex still shows the movies on the list as available but when you try to play them it says “cant find the file” is there a way to get a list of media plex cant find so that i can restore them from back up? ---

Make sure that `empty trash` after scanning is NOT selected Then export your library, using like WebTools-NG, where you have a field named `Part File Path` that tells you the path to the medias > **[Home · WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG Wiki](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/wiki)** > > WebTools Next Generation for Plex.

You can create a filter to show items in “trash” that would get removed upon clearing trash. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/e/d/c/edcd4a104a6adbc98ef1c8a79c660d1845314e8a.jpeg) ---

You lost a whole drive, so I would expect that the field named `Part File Path` starts with that drive, or? And also, there’s the fields `Part Exists` and `Part Accessible` ---
