Plex keeps creating 'Collections' -- how can I stop it?

Server Version#: 1.41.0.8994
Player Version#: (browser)

For a few weeks now I’ve been finding my Collections populated with dozens of unwanted new one-movie collections. Even after deleting them, they come back like weeds. Is there a setting somewhere to stop Plex from creating these?

Check the advanced options of that particular library:

  1. > Manage Library > Edit...Advanced
  2. Check for Minimum automatic collection size and set the minimum size for collections to be automatically created (or Disabled if you don’t want Plex to create collections based on TMDb metadata).

Keep in mind that Plex might also picking up collection information from embedded metadata (if enabled for this library). Plex will interpret the Album tag of a movie/video as a collection reference.
