Unable to completely migrate/move the people metadata

[initialsi 0]

Hello,

 

I set up the server about four years ago and took all the default paths.  About a year ago, I started to migrate whatever I can from C drive to another data drive due to space limitation on the OS drive.  Specifically, I changed the metadata path to D:\Emby\metadata from C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\metadata.  After upgraded to the v4, I noticed some of the cast members' picture are missing. A few people from a search came back with duplicates.  If I go into the one of the missing picture person, the picture then will load and that specific movie's cast will then populate.  When I click on the ... on the affected cast member -> Edit Metadata, I see its path is still pointing to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\metadata\People.  I renamed the metadata folder on the C drive to something different, then most of the people's pictures are missing again.  I clicked on the affected person, then the picture will re-populate.  On the server, I see the it automatically recreated a new metadata folder.  In order to fix the missing pictures, I deleted the new metadata folder, rename the original metadata folder back, then refresh the metadata manually.  I appears that all the affected people are prior to the path change, they are still using the default C drive path.  The duplicates has one pointing to C and one pointing to D drive.  Is there a way to force them to use the new path?  Thanks.

So the people's metadata structure has changed, but in my case, partial people's metadata is still pointing to the old path.  I can't seen to change it to a new location.  I just need to get if off the C drive and properly populate non duplicated image.  Any idea to force migrate?
