My goal is to delete a library in JF without deleting any files from my drives.
I have set up a Jelly Fin server hoping to migrate from Plex. I created a library called 'Test' that contains the folder where I store movies. I already have another library for movies and want to delete the 'Test' folder. The confirmation message implied that deleting the library would also remove the folder where all the movies are. I don't want to do that, I just want to remove the library.
I went into library management to remove the movie folder from the 'Test' library. The confirmation message was a bit ambiguous. It only read, 'Are you sure you want to remove this location?'. Remove it from the drive? Remove it from the Library?
If I remove the folder using this method, will the movie folder remain on my drive and just be removed from the library? If it's just removed from the library, can I then delete the library without actually deleting any files?
Thanks for your help.
