Radarr/Plex Files Randomly Gone

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.

Heggico,

Is it all on a single drive? The logs mention E:/Movies missing.

The E indicates a different drive, if you’re in windows. So is that disk still available?

I have movies and anime on one drive and tv shows on another. E is still available

Radarr has a setting which will delete files when a movie becomes unmonitored. By any chance did you recently unmonitor everything or make a change to whole directory like rescanning ?

Elkenders,

Eek where is this setting? I see the setting to unmonitor when deleted but not the other way around.

wccrawford,

Like you, I don’t see that setting, and only see the one you see. I don’t think it exists. I think they just had it backwards.

It makes no sense to delete movie files when clicking unmonitor.

I did unmonitor everything recently. For fuck sakes didn’t know it did that. Just thought what’s the point in monitoring the movies if they’re all how I want them. Apparently I fucked myself.

Elkenders,

Maybe you’ve seen the comments above but might not be the case.

Xavier,

I’m not sure, the logs only mention E:\Movies folder is missing or not being available/accessible (permission issues? Wrong hard drive?).

Something may have happened before the logs were made, or by another application/service service running on your system.

Hopefully it will help you find the source of the error.
