Remove duplicate server

General Discussions
1

I recently set up a NAS in order to use Plex without having to keep my laptop on all the time. However, when I set up a Plex server on the NAS it created a new server every. My devices that I play Plex through all see two Plex servers (the original on my computer and the new one on my NAS). I tried looking into the account settings but all I found was the option to delete my entire Plex account rather than just the old server. Is there a way to remove the old server? Or is there a way to make my new one the default?

Thank you!

Delete the old one.
(and only the old one)

Some client devices need to go through a cycle of
Sign Out > Sign In
to take notice of the change.

If I delete the old one, does that delete all the media files too?

No, of course not. It just takes the server out of your account, so your clients can’t find it anymore.

I removed the server from my clients, restarted them all, and they no longer see the old server. However, on my computer where the old server used to be, I get a message every time I log into Plex that says there are unclaimed servers available, would I like to claim it. Is there something else I have to delete?

Perhaps it is still installed there and running?
