Dataset cleanup

[michaelkoehler]

Hi folks. I hope you can help me out. I'm definitely a novice when it comes to FreeNAS.

So the deal is, over time, I started at v9, updated to 11.1, then 11.2. I didn't realize 11.2 was a beta (the train drop down just said 11.2 stable). It seemed a little wonky, so I made a fresh install of 11.1.

Now my Volume has a bunch of detritus.

Volume1
- Data
- Music
- PlugInsJail
- - PLEX
- Video
- iocage
- - download
- - - 11.2-RELEASE
- - images
- - jails
- - - plex
- - - - root
- - - log
- - - releases
- - - - 11.2-RELEASE
- - - - - root
- - - - templates
- - - jails
- - - jails_2
-syslog
- syslog

I'm thinking delete (destroy) PlugInsJail and iocage and then reinstall Plex. I guess I'm looking for a sanity check on whether it's safe to do so (iocage in particular). Like I say, I'm not very experienced, and don't want to lose my Data, Video and Music datasets.

Thanks,
Mike

There is some small risk that data may be deleted that you don't want deleted, but you should be able to reinstall the iocage and Plex with only the possible loss of any customization you have done to Plex.

Thanks, Chris. I'll give it a try.
