Can't delete some jails?

Found this post
Found the file
Got the tool to edit the file.
Be damned if I can figure out where the actual database entry for the jails are. I found 3 entries which do NOT seem to contain a reference to my Plex DB

jails_jailtemplate
jails_jailsconfiguration
jails_jailmountpoint

Any idea? I don't know how to search with this SQLite manager - the entire DB for the term "plex"

Anyone? I'm half way there.

I don't think jails are stored in the configuration database. I'm pretty sure everything related to your jails is written to disk. I'll caveat here that I'm not 100% in my recollection, but I know I've cleaned up some jail issues by just deleting files from the jail root.

Try deleting the relevant ".meta" directories from your jail root. Not all of them, just the ones you're trying to delete. Reboot for good measure.

So maybe just removing these 2 files, nothing in the database then?
