I noticed a movie that I never downloaded somehow showed up in Jellyfin. I searched for the file and couldn’t find it anywhere so I clicked remove media and it deleted every movie I had downloaded. I was luckily able to recover everything but I’m kind of shaken. It deleted the entire movies folder I had.
Hmmm. I’m thinking maybe that phantom movie that was in your jf library was originally not in it’s own movie directory but in the root of your movies folder. It’s maybe possible that jellyfin then deleted the entire root directory of that movie when you hit delete, which would be your root movies folder.
Never heard of this happening before but it’s conceivably possible. Was the entire movie directory deleted or just everything inside it?
Movies folder was deleted
