The SSD where Plex Server was installed failed and I wasn’t able to extract the data from it.

I did a fresh install of Plex Media Server on a new SSD drive working with Linux Mint. I rebuilt my libraries.

However, my users are still seeing the old inaccessible libraries that don’t exist anywhere.

When I go in Manage library access, it shows my users have access to 8 libraries, which means the 4 current ones and the 4 old ones, but I see no options to remove the access to the old ones.

Delete the old server from [https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms](https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms)

Afterwards, your users may have to edit their own side bars, to pin all the libraries from the new server and unpin any leftovers from the old server.
