@WillehMakkers

Moving pieces by symbolic links is A) Dangerous and B) not supported.  
This is probably contributing to the problem.

The proper way to move (relocate) your Plex metadata is here:

> Customizing your Plex configuration on systemd based systems This information is intended for those systems where cat /proc/1/comm returns systemd. On systems which use Systemd (Ubuntu 16+, Fedora, Centos 7, Debian 8,) you create this customization file which SystemD reads prior to launching PMS. This file is independent of the default configuration and service control mechanisms in /lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service. Your customization override is preserved across updates, uninstal…

If you want to start over, I recommend:

1. Create the target directory in the new location to hold the metadata.  
a. Make certain the new directory is owned by `plex:plex`.

2. `sudo systemctl edit plexmediaserver` as instructed in the above How To

3. `sudo systemctl daemon-reload` to update the system’s knowledge of the config change.

4. Open [https://app.plex.tv/desktop](https://app.plex.tv/desktop)  
a. Plex/web will load  
b. Settings - Authorized Devices (Upper left corner) - Server (dropdown)  
c. REMOVE the server you’re starting over  
d. Close the browser window

5. Start Plex and setup again as new.
