Hi Guys,
First post here :slight_smile:
i have noticed the folder:
C:\USERS\MY_USER\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases

is getting extremly large although i dont have much media in my library [and the media folder is on another drive]

Do you have any idea how can i reduce this ?

example for the files in that directory

Do you have a lot of photos in Plex?

Do you use any Plex clients in your local network which are not signed into your Plex user account?

Hi Otto,
no i do not have any pictures on my plex only couple of movies and tv series
and i do have 2 different clients connected. [not concurrenlty]

Please double check and sign in any clients in your local network.

You can wait for a new software version of Plex server, which will correct this issue.

Or, if you are running out of space and you need a fix now, perform this procedure: Plex Database sqlite file has more than doubled in 10 days - #66 by jg121212

Make sure to download a backup of your database first!
