I just went to watch a movie and my server said it wasn’t there, so I went and check the PC folders and all of my movies are gone. Not in any of the recycling bins, not anywhere, just gone. What would have caused this? How do I stop it from happening again? It’s been working fine for months then this just happened.

    Do any of your plex users have the permissions required to delete files?

    Radarr doesn’t delete video files unless replacing them with a new one, or commanded to delete them. It will delete related metadata files like images, subtitles, and nfo when it thinks a video file has been deleted though.

    Your logs repeat with root folder ‘E:/Movies’ was not found while trying to import new media, but doesn’t mention anything else. Does that folder still exist, or was it also deleted? All your movies, or just some? Were other libraries modified? (tv shows)

      The folder is still there, all of the movies were removed. Shows on the same drive were not. No users with permissions to do anything.
