Deleting Playlist Deleted Folder

[mtrow28 2]

I'm really quite frustrated. While organizing my files, I noticed one of my primary music folders was missing. I looked all over my NAS and could not find it. On checking the Emby logs, it shows that I deleted a playlist from inside Emby (which I did), and right after the playlist was deleted, the folder in question was deleted (see log screenshot). I am now in the process of trying to recover this folder with various recovery tools, but I may end up losing over 5,000 files. (say what you want about backups and the like, I simply hadn't got that far yet). I would really like to understand why this happened, as the only warning I received when deleting the playlist was that the .m3u file would be deleted. What triggered the full delete of the folder the playlist was located in?

Emby Premiere Version: 4.8.11.0

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred:

Thanks!

The entire log file is 33MB, with thousands of lines of log data. I really don't have the time to go through and sanitize it before uploading to a public forum. Do you have another method for secure upload?

Can you send it to me over private message? Thanks !

Ok this is resolved in the upcoming 4.9 server release. Apologies for the disruption. Thanks.
