Plex deleting content bug after disabling DVR

Server Version#: 1.13.9.5456
Player Version#: N\A

I used to have HDHOMERUN and DVR programmed with my Plex server. I had it set to automatically delete a show from the DVR recordings 1 week after watching the episode. I then moved to another DVR/TV provider and no longer use Plex for live TV and DVR. I purchased and ripped season 1 of a show that I had previously DVR’d using Plex. Now 1 week after adding my copy of this show the episodes get moved to the trash unless they are in a constant state of UNWATCHED.

There is no way for me to change this setting within Plex anywhere because I do not use or have a DVR/Live tv I can setup any longer. The setting appears tied to this show.

Does any one know how I can manipulate the setting to not delete these episodes after 1 week now that I do not have a DVR to see the setting change option?

Thank you.

You should still be able to do this without the DVR

From the main Shows page click the Pencil on a cover to edit it, then select the Advanced option on the left

There should be options here for the auto deleting

Was going to post what @paulsalter said. Can edit settings from Library by editing the show properties on the Advanced tab for the show.
