Force Lidarr to re-manage media? (sh.itjust.works)

Long story short my Lidarr instance wasn’t creating Album folders and just dropping all the media into the Artists folder after importing, I noticed this because my Jellyfin instance was improperly displaying Albums as Playlists and not getting metadata as intended.

This is quite unfortunate as a lot of content was downloaded and not properly organized, I tried going at it manually however quickly realized how much media was just loosely tossed around.

Is there anyway to force Lidarr to re-manage media already imported or even a docker image designed specifically for media management that I could quickly spin up?

Edit: I believe I already fixed the root cause of my issue above, just need to figure out a logical way of going about the content that is already messed up.

I would just delete the artists/albums in lidarr. But make sure the box to delete local files is NOT ticked in the confirmation box. Then run a full scan again to pick up the files again

I didn’t even think of this! I’ll give it a try, thank you!

Couldn't you just fix the naming settings to include the album and then pick an artist and preview rename and see if it fixes it will fix it?

There's a mass rename button somewhere.

There is on the main list of artists but I would test it first on a single artist/album
