I have a computer that the server stopped working, tried to uninstall but won’t uninstall the whole program. what I get is “Corrupt database Plex Media Server was unable to open its media database” I removed registry item Hkey\_current\_user\software\plex… and that did not help.

Ok finally got it to work, found user…\appdata\local\plex media server deleted that and for now it’s ok, I swear I looked there before and did’t see the file. thanks
