    Can I remove the files that not found from the playlist??

Because I deleted several files from the harddisk but they're still in the playlist...

How can I remove the INACTIVE files from the playlist??

The general advice is to remove files from MC itself.  You will get an option to remove the files from disk as well.  It's optional.  As long as you do it from MC, then everything stays in sync.  If you remove files from disk in Windows, then MC doesn't know you did it.

There is an option to have MC automatically remove missing files, but I find it to be too intrusive personally.  You could experiment with this option if you'd like:

Tools > Options > Library & Folders > configure auto import > Tasks > Fix broken links > (choose option)

You can also build a smartlist that will display all missing files.  Then you can look at them and decide whether or not to delete them.  You can use Import/Export to build a smartlist with this expression:

[=ismissing()]=1
