Hello, I have a library that gets the videos from a folder. I deleted some of them but the entries on the library are still there and I don’t know how to remove them without going manually one by one. I tried the following:  
-Clean the recycle bin of the library  
-Searching library files  
-Analyzing the library  
-Cleaning bundles

Nothing works… The deleted files entries are still appearing on my Plex library… 😭

[Edit your library](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289266-editing-libraries/ "Edit your library"),  
go to the “Add Folders” tab  
make sure that all paths listed in there are

- still existent
- accessible to the server
- _not_ completely empty

Thank you OttoKerner, that was the point! One of the folders was deleted. After removing it from the list the deleted files were removed from the library automatically.
