So Plex has sone something weird at some stage which I have only now discovered when formating a disk.

 

My AppData is set to Prefer: Cache and always has been, my cache drive has 806GB free so it shouldnt stary using the array as storage space.

 

When I navigate to the disk is question there are a bunch of folders but nothing inside them, am i safe to just delete the appdata folder in disk 5??

 

Have attached some screenshots.

If the folder really is empty then you can safely delete it. Nod sure why it was created in the first place if it really is empty.

 

It should also get removed if you:

  • Disable the Docker service (under Settings->Docker) to ensure it is not holding anything open at that location
  • Run mover manually from the Main tab to move any files that might be there to the cache.
  • Re-enable the Docker service.
