Collections are NOT working on Libraries

[Cheesegeezer 3104]

It's driving me crazy.... i'm trying to spend some admin time on my server and cleaning out the crap.

Am I doing something wrong

1. Running 4.7.6 on Windows
2. All Libraries are set to 2
   1. 
3. I went in and cleaned out all the collection folders that i know only had ONE movie in from Emby-Server\programdata\metadata\collections
4. ran metadata refresh
5. ran library scan
6. refreshed browser cache for Web Interface
7. Relaunched Browser and went to collections and.....

Collections are all populated again in Web Interface and also appear back in Emby-Server\programdata\metadata\collections

I didn't delete all of them but you can see on the time stamps that they are just getting made again

if you need a log let me know.  Do i need to go into the Library.db file and delete them from there or what.

Let me know what i can do to help with this.  

You can see here all the collections in Red boxes only have one movie in them

 

Bad Boys for example

This accomplishes nothing. It is only used to store images for a collection.

Try using the web interface to delete the unwanted collections.
