Plex (v. 7.23) on iOS removed option to delete files

[Johnny_15]

Hi,

Today I noticed that I cannot delete files through the Plex Player app on my iPhone. I am logged in as the admin account which previously allowed deleting files from the app but now after clicking on the three dots on the file preview screen I can only mark a file as played, watch together, add to playlist, share and view file info - there is no delete option anywhere.

Has someone else noticed this?

To remove files I now have to login to my Plex admin account on a computer.

Thanks for your help.

Server Version#: 4.66.1 (Synology NAS)
Player Version#: 7.23

Still working fine for me.
After enabling the option to delete media from within Plex I had to restart the Plex app on my mobile for the option to show… but it’s here and working.

See (German language) screenshot from my iPhone (Löschen=Delete):

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, but where do you activate the option to delete within Plex?

[tom80H]

via Plex Web (admin web interface):
Settings > [Server Name] > Library > Allow media deletion

Thanks @tom80H. I checked the server settings and the option was checked. I unchecked and checked and now the option shows back up in the app also. The also was an app update overnight so I do not know if that had anything to do with it, i.e. resetting the app.
