Server Version#: Version 1.29.0.6244 Player Version#: N/A I have access to two of my friends servers. One of them he took offline permanently but it still shows in my side bar. I have tried a bunch of methods suggested online but I cannot find where his server is listed in order to leave / remove it. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/1/c/9/1c904395cafdd31348cceb764c7c3f21a86cd562.png) Only my local server is listed when I got to Settings \> Authorized Devices \> Servers ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/b/c/2/bc2e33169fc52308c8a76359c9d496822a958f7a.jpeg) or Settings \> Plex Home ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/4/5/2/45217f56ffd68ea0575cb473551242116e153bda.jpeg) or the sidebar in Settings ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/e/a/8/ea87e4d47657b9b1d19e1e0586dcabfe5f38555c.png) Another suggestion on Reddit (from a year ago) was to go to Users & Sharing but I don’t see that section. I think that’s from an older version of the UI? Suggestions? ---

Never mind. Just found it buried deep… Settings \> Manage Library Access \> click friends name \> under ‘You have access to’ click Edit and choose Leave Server. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/4/8/8/488fbb7783256b9be43d914911810ecf6eaaa9a6.jpeg) Seems like a gap in the documentation too. This page _should_ cover it but only talks about removing a friend complete. Not a one of their servers [https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105738-creating-and-managing-server-shares/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105738-creating-and-managing-server-shares/) Hilarious when I search google for some of the exact terms in the process it turns up literally zero results. Good luck finding this process, sheesh. `plex "Manage Library Access" "leave server"` ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/7/1/a/71a35baf944d21c942c5b1603ceddc06fdc04dff.png) ---

Generally you would click on the friend in the **Plex Home** or **Manage Library access** settings (like if you wanted to change their restrictions) then click edit on their server and then the leave server button. Though it sounds like it may be a ghost server on their account which I can remove manually from their account if you don’t see it there, ![Plex](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/9/6/1/961c75ad15261ab249177ec438c4f0c48b8182b6.jpeg) ---

Can’t even give feedback. Support just leads you to the FAQ, Forums, etc. No other department for giving feedback. As a Plex Pass subscriber I’d expect to have better channels that this. Plex seriously needs some competition. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/4/2/3/42395b3bd8620babfd097559988130907243f2b0.png) ---

Yeah I found it and solved it before you replied. Why isn’t this in the help article though? > Seems like a gap in the documentation too.

Well yeah IF someone like you happens to see it, there’s no guarantee when posting on a forum. ---

I’d appreciate that. Don’t take my comments personally BTW. They’re not directed at you specifically. I just don’t like it when companies that charge for subscriptions rely on farming the community for support for free and don’t give a direct support option. I totally understand that having the Q&A out in the open like this helps make support issues and ultimately their answers visible to other customers, which is a good thing, but there should still be some kind of direct support channel for paying customers IMO… or at least a proper feedback mechanism straight to employees rather than relying on it maybe getting seen in an open forum. ---
