Can't delete music playlists - volcs0 - 2024-09-12
I have 130 playlists that show up in Jellyfin music. I also see them when I launch a client able to connect to Jellyfin (e.g., Feishin).
They are all empty. I have no idea how they got there in the first place.
I cannot figure out how to delete these. I've manually deleted them - both in the Jellyfin web app, Mac app, client apps - they appear to delete but then show up again.
I looked through my folder hierarchy and do not see any playlists there.
I am stumped. How can I get rid of these?
Edit:
There were a bunch of .m3u files in various music folders. I don't know how they got there. But I found all of them and deleted them - and the problem is gone. Now I see new playlists showing up in the /data/data/playlists folder where they belong.

What OS is the server running? If you look at the metadata for the playlists, does it tell you where they are located?

unRAID - running in a Docker container
I didn't know about the metadata!
Seems like there are a bunch of stray .m3u files spread out over my collection.
Jellyfin must be picking them up again each time it scans.
For some reason (permissions?) - JF cannot delete the playlist.
I will write a python script to find them and remove them. Hopefully that will do it.
Thanks for the help.
