    Hi,
    I want to reset my Jellyfin cache data completely and have it rebuild the whole thing on linux without losing anything important like pictures (saved in my media folders), metadata custom edits (I have .NFO turned on and saved in media), or config stuff. Does anyone know the best way to do this? AI recommends finding the cache folder and deleting the whole thing but it has given me bad advice before.

    I want to see if there's some bad data in there that I could purge out that "replace all metadata" is not catching and is causing me slow down. 

    Thanks for advise >o>
    I complain about Jellyfin a lot and have no idea what I'm doing.

    Ai is actually right as far as I know... find the cache page (usually C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Jellyfin Media Player\cache in windows) I would double-check the file to make sure that there isn't anything important there.

    I backed it up, deleted, and restored but still having the same issues.  Confounded-face Confounded-face Confounded-face
