I couldn’t reclaim my server after the password breach. I figured I’d start fresh since my library was fairly small. I’m unable to do that. When I try to add media, I see a message reading “get plex Media server.” I already have it and it’s running. Anyone run into this?

Plex says "get Plex media server" but it's already running
