Lost files won't disappear from library

I had to reinstall windows 10 after two of my drives busted. One was the SSD with the OS and another had about 1TB of media files I had on Plex.
Plex database was stored in a separate drive, E:

Reinstalled win10, reinstalled plex, rerouted it to the old database, and it brought back my old libraries which had around 10 TB of media files. The problem is, the lost files aren’t disappearing from the libraries.
Refreshed the libraries, emptied the trash, but the entries aren’t disappearing from the library.

Edit your library(s),
go to the ‘Add Folders’ tab
and remove the paths which pointed to your old drive letters.

If you want to get a list of all media you lost, you should use WebTools or ExportTools before doing the above.

That fixed it, thank you!
It was so easy and yet I didn’t think of it at all
