My 4tb cache drive keeps filling itself up with the mover action. I feel that this has something to do Plex Appdata not possibly pointing to the right area, however I cannot get it to fix itself.
Things I have tried:
1. Went nuclear deleting the localhost and photo-transcoder folder in Plex-Media-Server AppData (knowing it will recreate itself)
2. Change AppData shares to ensure Array -> Cache Move
3. Run NCDU from NerdTools to examine the Cache drive contents (It was mostly Media files, which is to be expected, however not sure why these appdata files take so long to transfer)
4. Turn on Mover logging
5. Disabled All Docker and VM services while the mover is in action (to fight any possible open files)
Example of Mover logs:

These logs run endlessly for hours and hours and the " ### files remaining" will go down for a few hours and then jump right back up by 100,000 files, so no actual progress has been made over the last few days of Mover action.
Remember these files have been deleted and the Unraid server has been rebooted multiple times.
