Screen shot below. > [@Old shared server reappeared, can’t be deleted](https://forums.plex.tv/t/old-shared-server-reappeared-can-t-be-deleted/415120): > > Years ago a friend shared his server with me. I eventually deleted him from my shared users and removed my access to his shared server. I’ve not seen his server via my account for so a very long time.

It appears you have managed to delete the rogue server yourself? [https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/devices/pms](https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/devices/pms) If it is still appearing in your various apps, you might have to go through a logout/login procedure on these or reset their settings for the home page.

Are you perhaps using several [plex.tv](http://plex.tv) accounts? Because the one you are using in these forums, only has one server in it. ---
