[S0lVED] Orphan files after uninstall

[TheDreadPirate]

You're omitting or are providing conflicting information, repeatedly uninstalling and reinstalling Jellyfin/Emby while we are trying to troubleshoot, and jumping ahead in the process when we aren't ready.

Fully uninstall Jellyfin and Emby.

For Emby it sounds like you installed the flatpak

Code:

sudo flatpak list

Copy the flatpak name for Emby.

Code:

sudo flatpak <insert Emby Package Name>

Purge Jellyfin

Code:

sudo apt purge jellyfin*
sudo rm -rf /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin

Reboot

Install Jellyfin

Code:

curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
sudo chown -R jellyfin: /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin /var/log/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin
sudo systemctl restart jellyfin

Clear your browser cache.  Now try to access Jellyfin by typing in "http://<insert IP address for server>:8096" in a browser.

Jellyfin on Linux does not create any entries in the desktop "start" menu.  It is a service that quietly runs in the background and is managed on the command line and accessed via browser.
