That sounds .. weird. Any database access will be read/write, so entries will be removed. Perhaps your "file server" was readonly somehow, and thus files reappeared after a scan during reboot/restart?
The vast majority of Kodi users have no problems with deleting and database access, so you could probably install MySQL into your Mac. Where are your media files stored?
