Jellyfin is trying to scan a folder that doesn't exist - Swarfega - 2025-05-09

I use Jellyfin in a container which is configured to read my media from a NFS share from a Pi4. It all works but I looked at the possibility of using a CIFS share on my router so added the cifs share to Jellyfin.  It didn't do what I wanted to I scrapped that and returned to using the NFS share. It all works but I notice in the logs it still references the cifs share even though its not configured in my Music library.  
The options.xml file only references one path and that's the correct NFS one.
Any idea where it is finding this from?

Code:

the "etc etc" part is kinda important to figure that out specificlly and more log before that also.

Guessing you might have added that path before and its now in a library and JF tries to load previously existing media from it?

This has happened to me on more than 1 occasion.  The solution i used (albeit probably not the best) was to simply remove all references to the path in the sqllite database.  Stop the container first to make sure Jellyfin isn't running, then if you have sqlite installed for your distro just run the following command (altering the paths to your personal requirements)

Code:
sqlite3 "/jellyFin/config/data/library.db" "DELETE from TypedBaseItems where path like '%pathToRemove%';" ".exit"
