Safe to delete old Plex Jail after migrating to Scale?

Hopefully a quick question: I migrated from Core to Scale a while back but I was doing some spring cleaning and realized my system still has the iocage folder with the jail I manually installed Plex into a long time ago. My understanding is when I installed the native Plex App that it moved somewhere else? Is it safe to delete that old “Plex13” folder or even higher up in the folder tree? Thanks!

I’m also working on figuring out how to attach a screenshot of the folder structure…

Well apparently I can’t upload any kind of image or link in my post? The folder structure looks like:
pool:
AppPool
iocage
-download
-images
-jails
–plex13
—root
-log
-releases
-templates
ix-applications

Edit: Apparently new user things…

Yes, you can delete the jail dataset, as long as you have the metadata stored outside it (which you do by now if you’re already running Plex on SCALE). And if that’s the only jail you had (which appears to be the case), and you don’t expect to go back to CORE, you can delete the entire iocage dataset.

Thanks, that’s very helpful. Should I try to do that via shell or is deleting the dataset with the Plex UI fine?

I assume you meant the TrueNAS UI (rather than the Plex UI), and I’d use that rather than the shell.

Yes, thank you. Typing too fast too late. Will try this and report back.

Used the TrueNAS UI to delete the whole iocage dataset and things are working perfectly fine. Thank you for the help.
