I have had to recover plex database from backup a couple of times. When I do, I typically rename the current database folder to something like; 'Plex Media Server Old' just in case I need it and then recover the backed up files to 'Plex Media Server'. However, when I start Plex server, on the same C: drive instance no changes... instead of 'seeing' the database I recovered which is located in the same drive/folder as original (just recovered from backup), server will give me a certificate error and load the OLD database in the 'Plex Media Server Old' folder. How does Plex even know about this 'old' folder? Even if I log out and back in to let the 'trust' be established, Plex libraries are from the 'old' folder?? How do I get Plex to use the newly recovered folder and 'forget' about the old dataset?
