removing ghost path from libraries

Bug

So in a continuation of trying to get my server stable again

Is there any easy way of removing all references of an outdated path for all the libraries?

I migrated from X:\ to V:\ and even though the libraries only show the single path all my shows have been duplicated and are still showing the x:\ path

Library scans have not fixed this and metadata editor would be days doing this manually :-(

I have checked the libraries XML files under (windows) and it's correct in each with only a single entry for path:

Jellyfin\Server\root\default\*Libraryname*

  <PathInfos>
    <MediaPathInfo>
      <Path>V:\tv_shows\*Libraryname*</Path>
    </MediaPathInfo>
  </PathInfos>
