PMS Version 1.12.3.4973 won't empty trash?

@ChuckPA I optimize the DB at least once a week. (optimize db once a week is checked.) I just did it again for you. My guess is there is another issue, or the optimize command is not running (like the empty trash command isn’t apparently.) I optimized, and bounced the Plex server. Trash icon is still there.

@d2freak there is no monitored path or folder which now doesn’t exist. This directory structure hasn’t changed in over 3 years. Like I said, the entire show plays fine through Plex. See images that all folders and files exist and everything is accessible. Yet Plex still says “nope!” https://imgur.com/a/nqg63J4

Sorry for the delay in responding.

The trash can is the ‘Unavailable’ symbol.

If all the other files in that same folder/directory are playable, Check the permissions. “Unavailable” is shown when a. One of the parent directories are missing (like when a USB gets unplugged) or B. (likely) user plex doesn’t have permission to read it

Have you tried taking the whole Series out (moved to a non-monitored location) and done the full Plex Dance?

  1. Move out
  2. Scan files
  3. Empty Trash
  4. Clean Bundles
  5. Verify it’s all gone
  6. Move Back
  7. Scan again is-if new
