Plex re-adding movies even though empty libraries after scan is unchecked

Server Version#: 1.41.8.9834
Player Version#: N/A

For some reason plex keeps re-adding movies in my library every day despite the fact that I have the setting that empties trash unchecked.

Oddly enough this does not happen for TV shows despite everything being on the same filesystem, I am using plex in unraid and everything is in the same docker “mount”

Have you looked at logs right after it does that daily scan?

No, what should I look for?
More importantly, why is it emptying trash? it shouldn’t it’s unchecked

if it is emptying the trash (and not just deleting which would do the same thing in the end) there should be a line like [IPAdress:port (Subnet)] PUT /library/sections/5/emptyTrash (33 live) #2df43 TLS GZIP Signed-in Token (BigWheel)

That is what we need to determine by looking at the logs. the IP address would at least indicate where the request was coming from. It could have been done manually in web app or via some third party script for example on another device..
