I let Claude Code optimize my Plex library and reclaimed 8TB of storage

The author optimized their Plex library using Claude Code and reclaimed 8TB of storage. They had previously used Unmanic, an open-source tool, to optimize media files and free up storage space. Adding content to a Plex library can quickly consume storage.

Claude Code is an agentic coding interface that can be used with different models, including Kimi K3, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.7 Flash. According to Dev.to, users can configure Claude Code to work with various models through different methods, including using a community-developed tool called claude-code-router or pointing Claude Code at an Anthropic-compatible gateway.

The author does not specify how they used Claude Code to optimize their Plex library. XDA Developers mentions that the author had previously used Unmanic to optimize media files.
