Result not so great!
Sorry for not replying earlier - I have been a tad busy!!!!
michaelk, sorry, you are quite correct. Sometimes you think what you write is very clear in what you want to convey, then someone reads it only to point out that it is contradictory! Thankyou for pointing that out. And yes, what I meant was that I wanted to delete the plexmediaserver files from my external NTFS backup drive, not the files contained in /var/lib/!
teckk,
I booted into my Windows partition and ran chkdsk /F against my NTFS drive. Right near the end some of the messages indicated it had done something to the MFT on the drive. Straight after, Windows wouldn't load the drive. I re-ran chkdsk /F against the drive. Voila, Windows loaded the drive successfully.....BUT the drive was empty - the ENTIRE drive was empty, ALL of my files had vanished!
Luckily, I have other backups to rebuild the drive (which I am in the middle of doing right now as I type! I only lost 3 folders, (1 contained I know not what), 1 I have elsewhere and 1 too bad!
So, I'm not impressed with what chkdsk did to the drive, stuffing up my MFT!
