Welcome to our guide on how to remove a Plex server. Plex is a popular media streaming service that allows you to organize and stream your own collections of movies, music, and more. If you need to remove a Plex server from your system, we’ve got you covered with these simple steps.
Step 1: Access Plex Media Server Settings
Open Plex Media Server on the machine from which you want to remove the old server. To ensure that an old Plex Media Server is still listed, click on your current server name in the top left corner of the home screen.
Next, click “Settings” under Manage on the left side of the screen. The Settings screen will open, where you can make various configurations for your Plex Media Server.
Step 2: Navigate to Devices
In the Settings screen, click on “Devices.” This will show you a list of all the devices that have accessed your Plex account and have not been removed.
To narrow down the list to recognized servers, click on “Server.” You will see a list of all the servers, each accompanied by an icon representing the operating system it is running on. Use the server name and operating system as reference points to make sure you are removing the correct server.
Step 3: Remove the Old Server
Find the old Plex Media Server that you want to remove. Click on the “X” in the upper right corner of the box associated with that server. A Delete Server dialog box will appear, warning you that all syncs and shares associated with the server will be lost.
Click “Delete,” and a smaller message will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the selected server. Confirm by clicking “Yes, I’m sure.” The server will then be removed from the list of recognized devices on your new Plex Media Server.
