    Jellyfin deleted 2.5tb of my personal data without prompt or asking.

    Exactly what it says in the title.

    Jellyfin will only delete files within the directory that is specified as its cache. If you actually set your cache to the path of your library then the cache cleanup task probably did indeed delete your data (If so, why did you do this?). If you simply put the cache directory within the library, its not possible for JF to have deleted files outside of the cache path. My first guess would be that your mount simply failed, Jellyfin noticed the directory was empty and cleaned up the database for you, which is what these logs show, and that your data is intact on the drive that unmounted.
    Remember that having a single copy of data is the same as having no copies. Its simply a matter of time until drive failure wipes it out. You must create a backup of your critical data.
