Will changing an existing metadata location move all files to the new location? re-download it? or do I need to scan the libraries manually and clean the old location manually?

Depends if you're using Docker or not. If Jellyfin is installed directly on Linux or Windows moving the metadata folder will result in a bad time. Metadata file locations are stored in the database with absolute paths. If this is a Docker install, you can freely relocate your files as long as the container's config is updated accordingly.

If only you had been one hour earlier... yes... bad time it is... I am currently forcing a rescan for all libraries, which works fine, but does take a while... Simply moving them around wasn't possible, nor changing the database manually/semi-automated...
