delete live tv and others - Samantha Adamovic - 2025-03-19
[color=oklab(0.883042 0.00118408 -0.00389016)]Even after removing and uninstalling the plug-ins, their tiles are still present. I have rescanned the library, tried hiding them, and attempted to remove them from the interface, but it doesn’t allow me. It keeps showing an error stating that it cannot write to the files. I can’t find a command to enable writing to the files. I am using Zorin.[/color]

Zorin is based on Ubuntu. You need to either chown the folder(s) in question or set permissions such that the user running Jellyfin has access to the folder(s). If you installed bare metal, you should be able to find the folder(s) in question in $HOME/.local/share/jellyfin unless you changed the install dir.
RE: delete live tv and others - Samantha Adamovic - 2025-03-19
Stupid question but by the user in question, are we talking about the account that jellyfish is set up on if so, the error occurred on that account
RE: delete live tv and others - bitmap - 2025-03-19
Yes. The account running the server. Could be your account, root (hope not), or -- as the docs state -- a service user (e.g., "jellyfin"). If you've installed on your own account, which is fine, look at your permissions and who owns those folder(s) with ls -l (I like ls -hal). If ownership does not correspond with the account running the Jellyfin server, you need to check whether you have permission as that user to access/modify that location. You can use touch (e.g., "touch test") which will create a blank file named whatever text you follow "touch" with. If it fails, the user in question does not have permission to read/write.

i have a sneaking suspicion this has something to do with it

anyway to fix?
RE: delete live tv and others - theguymadmax - 2025-03-19
Did you not fix that issue? You didn't reply to your other thread: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-failed-to-start-jellyfin-media-s%E2%80%A6ver, you just marked it as fixed.
RE: delete live tv and others - Samantha Adamovic - 2025-03-19
I thought I fixed it evidently not
