library not updating after removing media

[Michael K. 24]

I removed media from a library directory and then refreshed the library, but the library still displays the media.

 

I then removed the entire library from emby, performed a refresh, then created a new library which points to the same path without any media in it, but the library still displays the old media.

 

I'm having this issue with a music library. I have not tested with videos/movies.

 

Has anyone else experienced this issue in the latest two releases of emby for Windows?

I was able to resolve this by manually running the Clean Database task.

 

This can be found under Manage Server --> Expert --> Scheduled Tasks --> Library --> Clean Database.

What was it displaying and where?

What was it displaying... ?

 

It was displaying all media metadata and pictures for music albums and artists that had been removed.

 

...and where?

 

The media was still showing in a Music library under all of the sorting options (suggestions, albums, album artists, etc.)

You might have just needed to refresh the page.

At first I thought it could be that, so I refreshed the page and also tried clearing the browser cache, but that didn't work. The only thing I found to work was running the Clean Database task.
