romainsi 6 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Hello, I use Version 4.8.1.0 of Emby via Docker. A few versions ago, I created a collection in Emby (see attachment). I'd like to delete it but I can't. I've tried to follow other topics on the subject without success. My collection is called "Collections". I've found the tree structure: /config/root/default/collections and the options.xml file (I have a copy if necessary), which I've deleted (and restarted Emby) but it doesn't work. I've also deleted the Collections folder but nothing more. I've of course restarted all the library scans but it's still there. I have no errors in the logs : Info TaskManager: Queueing task RefreshMediaLibraryTask Info TaskManager: Executing Scan media library Info TaskManager: Scan media library Completed after 0 minute(s) and 0 seconds Do you have a solution? Best regards, Romain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romainsi 6 Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Arf i see on this documentation https://emby.media/support/articles/Collections-Manual-Migration.html : "This does not apply to Emby Server version 4.6 and later. Collections are stored in the database with later versions". Which would explain why I can't delete it ... I hope a solution is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37096 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 @Happy2Playdidn't you previously come up with a trick to remove this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Since library info is now in database only you have to use the api and remove the library id. Similar process of adding the library to a new install. API link bottom of dashboard. Per the topic you need to connect via localhost or https but there is a browser flag option to work around the CORS issues. @Lukeisn't \programdata\root\default obsolete now? Or is it still utilized on old install as a new install it doesn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a note to removing Collections library it currently deletes the /metadata/collection content so all existing collections have to be refreshed.
