Sonarr isn't realising that files are missing

I recently had my tv hard drive slowly die on me with sectors dieing randomly and as such I lost 90% of the contents. I have since replaced that hard drive with a brand new one, that is the same size and with the same drive letter but even after hitting update library in sonarr it still thinks all the shows are still there. All the statuses for each episode say Episode Downloaded - x mb even though they no longer exist. How can I fix this? As I have a lot to redownload.

Same issue, with resolution: Refresh/Redownload after drive failure

I enabled creating empty season folders (and it created them) and I then hit update library as well as restarting sonarr but it still says the files are there when they are not.

EDIT: I figured it out, I had to hit refresh on every single tv show for it to detect they weren’t there.

A refresh of all series (from the home page) would have the same effect.
