Hi, I'm unable to remove the plex media server. It says it's uninstalled but i can't get rid of it. Also my /dev/md0 partition is showing as full. This is causing problems with the shares on my system not being started and they have vanished. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted onudev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev/dev/md0 3.7G 3.7G 0 100% /Can you help here? Regards,_dmxit_

Is SSH enabled on the NAS (not sure if you can enable it now, with the full OS partition). Are you comfortable (and have some experience) with the linux command line interface?

Hi Stephen, Since i posted this message, i found that plex get's installed in the /apps folder and with plex scanning and saving media metadata this caused the / partition to become full. Since then i've cleaned up the crap in plex and managed to free up some space. /dev/md0 3.7G 2.5G 992M 73% / Now even my shares are back now after rebooting the NAS. So i'm really happy at this point. Just wondering if just deleting the below plex folder will remove it from the ReadyNas apps installed view. root@Nas:/apps# ls -ltotal 0dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 30 2015 DO_NOT_DELETEdrwxr-xr-x 1 admin admin 246 Sep 2 21:34 plexmediaserver-annapurna I'm comfortable using linux command line.

Thanks. I’ll give that a go.Regards,_dmxit_

Ok, managed to clean up./dev/md0 3.7G 2.4G 1.2G 68% /But I’ve got a lot of issues with the admin page not loading.I’ve rebooted the NAS loads of times and it works for a bit but then goes back to the screen where it says loading and never actually loads the admin page. It’s stuck there forever in a loop or it fails and says can’t connect to admin page.Is there a way to fix this? Can I restart a service or something?Regards,_dmxit_

  Now even my shares are back now after rebooting the NAS.

  Just wondering if just deleting the below plex folder will remove it from the ReadyNas apps installed view.
  
  root@Nas:/apps# ls -l
