    I have a Jellyfin system installed in a Docker container on my Synology NAS.   I was trying to set up a new movie library.   Instead of entering the path for this library as "/media/xxx"  I entered the path as "/media".   For some reason Jellyfin accepted this path as okay, but it has screwed up the placement of my files in the directories under the /media folder.   I was thinking of deleting the folder for this library but I'm not sure if this will do further damage to my system by deleting the entire /media directory.

    I have attached a snapshot of some of the directories on my Jellyfin system.   There is a red box around the path info for the library in question.

    I'm looking for advice for how to undo this situation without damaging my system.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Removing the library will not delete your files.
