Hey guys,
I’d need some help - if there’s anything still possible at all.
I just switched my server from Windows to Linux. However, I’ve accidentally deleted the old Windows server in the Plex UI after moving to Linux and now Plex can’t seem to start
![]()
I have no idea what got me to delete the previous (Windows) version from the UI. I’ve read the thread about how to move from one OS to another quite a few times and I’ve been successful with it in the past, but here I am being stupid.
If there’s any way to recover my previous server, I’d be so grateful ![]()
All it says in the ui is the XML error as follows ![]()
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
