I lost a drive with some movies and so I need to know how to delete them from the library so they don’t show up when searching?

Thanks

The easiest thing would probably be to remove it as a path in your library settings (Manage Library \> Edit \> Add folders). Before doing that though, if you don’t already have a list of everything that was on that drive, it could be worth using [WebTools-NG](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG)’s [ExportTools](https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/wiki/ExportTools) or [Tautulli](https://tautulli.com/)’s [export guide](https://docs.tautulli.com/using-tautulli/exporter-guide) so you know exactly what you’ll be removing from your libraries.
