Store All Plex Data on External Drive

Video Preview Thumbnails can take up a lot of space. You can reduce the size of the Plex folder by disabling their generation and deleting existing thumbnails.

To disable: Settings → Libraries → Generate Video Preview Thumbnails = never.
To delete: Edit the library → Advanced. Deselect “Enable video preview thumbnails.” Select “Delete Preview Thumbnails.”

Regarding moving the Plex data folder, see this thread:
