How do I fix the error: "plrName is not a valid member of ServerStorage"?
Here is the code:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local plrFolder = Instance.new("Folder", game.ServerStorage)
plrFolder.Name = plr.Name
local plrInfo = Instance.new("Folder", plrFolder)
plrInfo.Name = "PlayerInfo"
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local plrName = plr.Name
local plrInfo = game.ServerStorage.plrName.PlayerInfo -- here is where the error occurs
end)
Could someone please help me figure out what is wrong? Thank you.

Rather use FindFirstChild or [plrName]
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local plrFolder = Instance.new("Folder", game.ServerStorage)
plrFolder.Name = plr.Name
local plrInfo = Instance.new("Folder", plrFolder)
plrInfo.Name = "PlayerInfo"
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local plrName = plr.Name
local plrInfo = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(plrName):WaitForChild('PlayerInfo')
end)
Also, the second param of instance.new (parent) is deprecated
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local plrFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
plrFolder.Name = plr.Name
plrFolder.Parent = game.ServerStorage
local plrInfo = Instance.new("Folder")
plrInfo.Name = "PlayerInfo"
plrInfo.Parent = plrFolder
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local plrName = plr.Name
local plrInfo = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(plrName):WaitForChild('PlayerInfo')
end)

Use [] brackets instead of the . dot operator:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local plrFolder = Instance.new("Folder", game.ServerStorage)
plrFolder.Name = plr.Name
local plrInfo = Instance.new("Folder", plrFolder)
plrInfo.Name = "PlayerInfo"
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
local plrName = plr.Name
local plrInfo = game.ServerStorage[plrName].PlayerInfo
end)
