SOLVED: Strange library issue

[theguymadmax]

This sounds similar to an issue I’ve encountered before. I managed to remove the ghost library by editing the database. Here’s how:

1. Download SQLite Browser.
   
2. Shut down the server.
   
3. Open library.db (always back up first!). Locations vary:
   • /var/lib/jellyfin/data/library.db
     
   • X:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\data\library.db
     
   • X:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\jellyfin\data\library.db
     
4. Choose the “Browse Data” tab, right under that is the option to choose table type, select “TypedBaseItems”
   
5. Enter “MediaBrowser.Controller.Entities.CollectionFolder” in the Filter in any column field
   
6. Find the entry you want to get rid of. Right-click on the number and select delete record.
   
7. Click the “Write Changes” button, then close the database and restart the server.
