I am trying to troubleshoot an issue. The issue is with Plex but that is not what I am writing about. I tried to delete and mention of Plex to reinstall it. I went to appdata and attempted to delete Plex's folder. It shows it delete but everything is still there. I renamed it Plex.old then reinstalled Plex. I am still unable to delete Plex.old from appdata. How do I delete this?

 

Thanks

 

Plex's appdata (and most apps for that matter) have unique permissions that may or may not allow them to be deleted via the network.

 

You either have to delete it via the command line, or you can see if CA's cleanup appData module (Settings - cleanup appdata) sees that folder.

 

But, since you've renamed it now, CA's cleanup probably won't find it.

 

So you're going to have to do something like:

 

rm -rf /mnt/cache/appdata/Plex.old

 

Make sure you've got the proper path as rm -rf can be a dangerous command
