Describe the bug
When deleting a collection, after a refresh of the library, collection is still in the library.

To Reproduce

  1. Create a new collection.
  2. Delete this collection.
  3. Refresh metadata of the collection library
  4. Browse the collection library, the collection is still here

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Jellyfin Version: 10.2.2

Additional context
After deleting the collection, the directory created for this collection is not deleted in
C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\jellyfin\data\collections
If I remove this directory manually, the collection is deleted.

@olebittner commented on GitHub (Jul 25, 2019):

Same issue for me on:
OS: Debian 10
Browser: Firefox
Jellyfin: 10.3.6

Deleting a collection over the web interface seems to have no effect. The collection disappears at first but reappers after refreshing metadata.
Deleting the collection folder in /var/lib/jellyfin/data/collections removes the collection successfully.

A peek into the logs shows that the first Library Sync removes the collection and the next one adds it again:

No this is still a problem.

In docker, libraries are under :
/path/to/config/_data/data/collections/

Just want to mention that #2611 has since been resolved, so perhaps it's worth re-evaluating this issue. I just tested it, and the collection was removed from my file system, so I think the issue should be closed.

I've confirmed that this is still present on server 10.9.11. I've also tried to remove the collection in /var/lib/jellyfin/data/collections but the collection comes back after refresh. Mainly I just want to remove collections created with multiple versions of the same movie, otherwise I do want collections automatically created.

Still an issue.

Added my own collections before finding the plug in to do it automatically.

Now I wish to remove the three collections I added before. No matter how I remove them, movie by movie and then collections or removing complete collections it comes back after refresh.
