Well, I followed every possible step in the Plex Dance as it was listed. As I said earlier, there is no way I can find to “Empty Trash” (though I remember seeing that in the past) and there is a setting called Empty trash automatically after every scan
that is checked.
If I did something wrong, then it must have been omitted from the dance steps at the link Otto provided.
And yes, my library was original scattered over more than a dozen folders on six different drives before I reorganized into one drive with a folder for the first letter (or digit) of the movie titles. Nothing I have seen says that I can have sub-folders within a library, except when they are the same title as the movie they contain. You are telling me that is incorrect and I can have at least one extra level of ‘generic’ folders with multiple different movies per folder within the library folder? Just so I can learn this better, could you provide a link to where that is documented – maybe it has changed since I learned about it a couple years ago or else it wasn’t clear to me back then.
