Server Version#:1.27.1.5916  
Player Version#:

I am unable to delete an old remote Plex server (always shows as “currently unavailable”). I have tried using Settings/Authorized Devices/ but the Server does not show up in the list. There is no option in the menu to delete it or make any changes. It just keeps trying to connect. I can’t see how to do this anywhere else?? I have checked all options in the support article " Why can’t the Plex app find or connect to my Plex Media Server?" - Any help appreciated !!

Is this your server or one shared with you?

If the latter, go to Settings → Manage Library Access. Click on the person’s name/userid that is sharing the server with you. You can then choose to delete that server.

Thanks, yes that worked. I had to delete the user who I was sharing with because they were also (previously) sharing their Plex library with me. Then needed to re-create to allow sharing to continue. Its a pity the two functions are not separate as they used to be. Thanks again.
