How to clean up library and remove specific folders
ferday:
Both the options mentioned allow MC to change the library to reflect external changes (stuff you did to the file outside of MC)
Nothing will get changed that you haven't already changed outside the program.
If you do a lot of moving around outside of MC you probably want these checked so the library can try to keep itself updateD

I think what you are trying to do here is use a view like the one in the attached image, and drill down into file locations to see what is in there. Not sure.
But if so, then take a look at the image. You can see I have drilled down from Audio > Files > G: > Music, and then I have changed the "List Style" in the menu that appears when I hover my mouse over the tab heading "Music" to "Album Thumbnail", which shows the Cover Art for the Albums I have in the "Music" directory. If I chose the "Thumbnail" List Style I would see the Cover Art for individual audio files, if they existed, or the default Album Art if they didn't.
Of course it would probably be better if you created a new view like the "Files" view, but using the List Style you prefer, rather than modify a Standard View provided with MC. I'll let you read up on how to create Views.
On the other questions you have answers, but it would be even better if you did all music addition, deletion, and tagging from inside MC, in which case the library would always be up to date, and wouldn't show deleted files any longer.
Research "Rename, Move, & Copy Files..." (F6) for moving and deleting CDs worth of files.
Research Ripping CDs in MC.
Research Views, file Selection, and Tagging.
EDIT1: Growl. The forum won't let me attach a image, even though it is small enough, and just a JPEG. I'll try posting and then adding the image.
EDIT2: Nup Won't add. Perhaps later. Forum problem? Yep, forum problem. I can't add an image that worked yesterday. Annoying. I'll try later.

Could be related to our switch to https.

Is there an advantage to that ? Does that mean MC will write tags w/out my permission/change tags ive already made ?

You specifically said that MC gave you an error when you tried to do Update Tags (from library). The option I showed you allows MC to write tags to your files. Without it, MC will not write any tags to your files.
Do you want MC to write tags to your files? If so, check the option. No, MC will not randomly change tags. It will only write the tags that you set/change from within MC.
Your original issue of moving files around outside of MC is a sticky problem. If you enable the option to remove missing files, then MC should remove references to files that you delete outside of MC. But this option can be problematic with NAS devices, or with drives that are not always plugged in to your computer. I like to turn that option OFF. But you can enable it if you want:
Tools > Options > Library & Folders > configure auto import > Tasks > Fix Broken Links > (choose option here)
The more correct answer is to stop moving files around outside of MC. Use the Rename, MOve, and Copy files tool instead. It's very powerful and is the right way to do this task if MC is your music/video manager.

Sorry to the OP for being off topic, but if I can't post images, it is harder to show what to do!

I tried using https:// in the URL. Still didn't work.
I tried using a smaller version of the file, just 183KB. No go, although the post shows the space and details for the image, just not the image.
Could be some permissions thing with moving to https. I note that the forum still works using just http though, so maybe the transition isn't complete?
