Running macOS Catalina 10.15.6  
Server Version#:4.34.3  
Player Version#:1.15.1.1358-43550df5

I accidentally created two servers named GWMB Plex and GWMB Plex Server. Every time that I log into Plex, one of the two is unavailable and the opposite one is nearby. How can I delete “GWMB Plex Server” forever? I have deleted it a couple of times and it keeps coming back.

Thanks.

You should be able to remove the one you want to get rid of from the list of authorized devices. This will disconnect the server from your account.

You still might want to actually “physically” stop and uninstall the server

Thank you. I followed your first suggestion to remove “GWMB Plex Server” from the list of authorized devices. For now, that works fine. However, I think that I have done this before only to have “GWMB Plex Server” raise its ugly head again as an unclaimed server. I would like to get rid of “GWMB Plex Server” once and for all.

Your second action confuses me. This seems to be a way to remove the App “Plex Media Server” from my MacBook. I don’t want to do that because the App is useful for managing my desired server “GWMB Plex”. There may be confusion because of multiple uses of the word server . Please clarify if you have provided a way to remove my unwanted server, as opposed to a way to remove the App from my computer.

Thanks.
