Hi everyone,
I’m running Jellyfin version 10.10.7 on Windows. Recently, one of the hard drives containing part of my library failed. I replaced it, moved all the media to a new drive, removed the old drive path from my libraries, and added the new one instead.
The new media plays fine, but I’m now seeing duplicates for almost everything — especially in TV shows, where I get two episode 1s, two episode 2s, etc. One of them works (from the new drive), and the other seems to be a leftover from the old library setup, even though the files no longer exist. These “phantom” episodes are often marked as “Hériter” in content type.
I tried library scans and refreshes, but they’re still showing up.
Is there a proper way to completely clean up the old metadata and have Jellyfin rebuild everything from the current files only, without these ghost entries from the dead drive?
Thanks in advance for your help!
