Folder not showing up despite refreshing library and metadata in Emby Server 4.10.1.0

I tend not to use Emby very much because it can be very difficult to use and by default tries to change metadata from the way I want it set. I don't want Emby to change anything.

It won't save New Library settings, which people have asked about for years. That is a big pain because there are so many options I have to turn off.

Before I sent this it turned out the folder with a mysterious name and only one file showing was actually the folder I wanted to show up but the name I gave the folder in Windows was much different.

The name Emby gave the folder was "Star Trek Season". The name I gave it in Windows was "Star Trek TOS (30+)".

When I deleted the Emby-named folder from the web interface, it took out all the files in the Windows folder I was trying to get to show up.

Hours of work wasted because your software makes no sense to me in how it displays folders!!!

I expect all folders and files in Emby to show exactly as Windows shows them.

Is that even possible? Emby works against what I want to do, and that is frustrating.

Another example of Emby's screwy behavior is a Windows folder named "Land of the Giants". Emby decided to call it "Scenes from DVD".

What's worse I can't override that decision. Emby has a mind of its own.

Is there anyway to delete libraries without deleting all my files as in my first post? Using Emby is total frustration!

Update:

After googling, there is apparently no way to delete libraries in Emby without also deleting all your files.
