Appdata, isos, system and domains are the only things on the Cache drive, mover has been run and there is nothing on the cache drive that shouldn’t be. I only have 1 docker installed currently (plex) and no VMs or ISOs downloaded or(no VMs). I have tried to delete old files that docker apps left behind, but some of the folders won’t delete. ( I also have a share thsts empty but there are folders I can’t delete (no files in them that I can see) and therfor can’t remove the share)

I’m at a point where I want to restart my server from scratch, but don’t want to loose the data on the drives in the array, can this be done? And if so, how?

    Do you have thumbnail generation turned on (like fribbtastic mentioned)? That could be a reason why.

    In the web interface, click the “>_” icon in the top right to open the terminal. Then type du -sh /mnt/user/appdata and post the results here

        I made a mistake in that code line. It should be this instead

        du -sh /mnt/user/appdata/*

        Sorry about that!

        EDIT: but, this size is nearly the same size as your cache drive. If you only have Plex installed, it’s my assumption that you do have thumbnail generation turned on. Doing so can take a lot of storage space if you have a large media library

            open the console and delete them through that (look up the rm command), you could also use a docker container called Krusader to do that in a more “clicky” way.
