Moved Plex server Data EXCEPT PlexCreditsDetection

Server Version#:PlexMediaServer-1.40.4.8679-424562606-x86_64
Player Version#:
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

I followed the directions and got the Plex data to relocate off my C: drive but that is NOT the only plex data going to C: drive. For other reasons I relocated my System %tmp% location to C:\Users\UNAME\AppData\Local\tmp and it is filling up files in a bunch of directories named \PlexCreditsDetection-BlahBlah\blahblah.jpeg, These are eating my C: drive space and I am working with a 64gig primary SSD drive. Please help me relocate those files as well.
Thanks

There is no need to relocate these. They are supposed to be deleted after the detection has been completed for that movie.
Why that didn’t work on your server, I don’t know. A frequent culprit would be 3rd-party anti-virus software, which is pressing its thumb on these temporary files to scan them for viruses.

But it could also have to do with you relocating the temp folder. It sounds fishy. System processes are sometimes running with higher privileges than those of regular users (or even Admin users). To put them into the temp folder of a regular user is a potential security risk and might also mess with the access permissions in that folder.

Shut down Plex server, then delete all those PlexCreditsDetection... folders.

OK, will do thanks for the info.
