Not much to go on, but there may be another movie in the collection. If you view your movie library by collection and select the subject collection is there a movie listed? Once you delete all movies from a collection - actually remove the collection tag from all the movies’ properties - and refresh your server settings (refresh browser) the collection should be gone ---

There’s already a number of threads. This issue was confirmed and has been fixed in the latest ~~public and~~ beta release ~~s~~ of Plex Media Server: - ~~public: 1.22.1.4275~~ - beta: 1.22.2.4276 # **Edit:** Juice is correct… the public branch has not yet received this fix. From what I understand it’ll be available in the public release of PMS 1.22. **2**! ---

The server version with the fix has already been released as a beta version. This means it might be available publicly in a few days (unless there is a show-stopping bug identified in it, in which case there will be another beta version first.) ---
