Server Version#: 1.25.2.5319 Player Version#: Background…I have music stored on my Synology NAS but the server itself is on a Mac Mini. Everything has been running fine. I got a new Synology NAS and because I wanted to start fresh I Installed the new NAS, created a music share then copied the music files over to the new NAS. I deleted the Music Library on the server, cleaned the bundles and optimized the database then started fresh again. Now after Plex starts scanning I am getting 6 of everything. I have deleted the Music Library and started over 4 times and it keeps on doing it. Help! ---

The library is only linked to one folder, Music, and only one time. What happens is that the same album will show up 4-6 times (all will play the music) but when I try to delete the extras Plex will not allow me to delete them. I have combed through the settings and unless I am missing something I just don’t get it. I have never had this problem before. ---

Are all those 4-6 albums full duplicates or are your albums split into 4-6 chunks? ---

Can you add the same folder to a 2nd music library and share your [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) if it’s showing the same behavior. Please enable `Debug logging` but disable `Verbose logging` in `Settings` \> `[Server Name]` \> `General` beforehand. ---

Which logs would you like to see? I added the second music library to the folder and it’s starting to duplicate already. ---

It appears you have configured your NAS to create some snapshots of the media in your music library which is being picked up by Plex. ---
