Server Version#: V1.32.8  
Player Version#:  
\<If providing [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only [debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) should be enabled\>

Im not sure if this is placed in the correct location, but for some reason I have been unsuccessful at deleting an old server. For various reasons, occasionally I have to start anew and rebuild my servers from scratch. Annoying, but no big deal. What is bothersome, is that old servers from however long ago, are still showing. If there is any additional info from me that you need, please don’t hesitate to ask me. Thanks for any help you guys. In the photo there are three already-existing servers, but they’re not ACTUALLY usable servers, if that makes sense. if I were to click on one of the servers and play some of the content thats still showing there, the content is unplayable.

I’m confused.

Can you remove the obsolete ones from [https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms) ?

So I just went there and I saw the below screen. I clicked the red “x” on all three. Will report in a second if that worked. Thanks!!

I actually think that might’ve did the trick. Can you kinda explain loosely why that just worked and what I just did, because I had tried multiple…MULTIPLE times in the past to click the option to remove a server in the past, but it would always show back up as if id done nothing. thank you again mate!

Basically you told Plex to sign those server out (in case they should get online)… unlinking them from your account and therefore preventing them from showing up in the server selection.

If you also deleted the active server, you might need to re-claim it.
