Server Version#: 1.28.1.6104-788f82488  
Player Version#: (web Chrome)

I have a leftover from Plex Arcade (Games) that I am unable to remove. On my window server (latest update) there is a category (or library) that is called Games with a leading question mark.  
This seems to be stuck!? One the menu (the dots, there is only “pin”, and the other options are missing.  
How do I remove this library?

Does this affect all clients or just one?

If it is the Web app or “Plex for Windows/Mac/Linux”, did you try to "Settings - Plex Web - ‘Show Advanced’ - Debug - “RESTORE DEFAULTS”

Did you unlink the gaming provider from your account here? [Sign In | Plex](https://plex.tv/users/other-services)

Hi,  
This affects all clients, as I think this is a problem on the server side.

I had not tried to restore the defaults, but I did now, and its the same.

I have three linked accounts on the link you provided, but none are Plex Arcade, as that was from Plex themselves. I guess there was no need to link accounts…

If I have uploaded the images correctly you should see how it looks. First image was after Plex Web restore.

You appear to be in the sidebar modification mode, right?

It was not called that. I think it had the name of the actual company which provided the emulator.

Yes, if I exit edit mode, the game menu is not there as it is not pinned, and this is really not a big deal, but I had this issue for some time now, and I thought that somebody might know to to fix it correctly.

I think that the “Games” was at least for me a “catch 'em all” menu.  
Once I was in games I had Atari 2600, Mega Drive, etc.  
The game console names was never on the main menu for me…

Unless you mean on the linked account page… I do believe that it was Plex Arcade.

I have forwarded this issue to the backend people.  
Please understand that they may have their hands full at the moment, so it might take a while to get resolved.

When did you restart the server last time?  
Expert says he’s removing the library but your server instantly recreates it.

I restarted it today, and a few days before that.  
I try to keep it updated, and I changed password on my account today, so I forced all clients to logout and restarted the server.  
How do I stop my server from recreating it? This is not an active choice from my side…
