Rule 1 - Don't be a dick
Don't be a dick. This includes any kind of trolling, baiting, etc. Bigotry may result in an instant permaban.
Rule 2 - No misleading or non-descriptive titles
No misleading or non-descriptive titles. Try to be brief but detailed.
Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant
Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.
Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.
Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post
Rule 5 - No asking / offering Plex shares.
No asking / offering Plex shares. There are other communities for that.

No low-effort / meme posts. These are considered spam, and will be removed. Repeat offenses may result in a ban.
Rule 7 - No referral / self-promotion / affiliate links, personal voting / campaigning / funding, or selling posts
No referral / self-promotion / affiliate links, personal voting / campaigning / funding, or selling posts. These are considered spam, and will be removed. Repeat offenses may result in a ban.

I know this sounds silly, but on the top of the webpage on your plex: movies do you have it on recommended vs library? For some reason mine defaults to recommended and depending on the folder I am looking at, nothing is there. When I click on Library they magically appear.
I am by no means an expert on the platform, just sharing what I have encountered.
Good luck.
Have you possibly used live tv in plex before? There are settings for series like “remove after viewing” or “only keep 5 episodes”.
Just a thought.
Did you figure anything out? Plex can be weird sometimes but it should be full blown deleting files unless you had something setup to to do that.
Other commenter had a good question. Make sure the files are actually deleted and not just missing from plex. If just missing from plex it’s likely a naming issue.
