Manage library (admins)

Only admins can delete media, and only from the web app — never from a TV or phone app. Users can browse and watch but can't delete anything.
Server admin tools — Quality profiles, Now watching, backup and restore, webhooks and Manage library.

Delete something

  1. 1Open the web app and sign in as an admin.
  2. 2Click Manage in the top menu.
  3. 3Find the title — type part of its name, show, artist or folder.
  4. 4Click Delete and confirm.

Where deleted files go

  • On your own server: the file moves to a hidden “.silux-deleted” folder at the top of its media folder — move it back to restore it, or empty that folder to free the space
  • On Silux Media Cloud: the file is removed from your encrypted cloud library

Rescan

Settings → Server → Rescan library re-reads the folders after you've added, moved or restored files yourself.

Questions

Why can't I see Manage?

You're signed in as a user. Ask the server's admin to make you an admin (Settings → People).
