Title: Help please - trying to remove all files from an old hard drive from the library
Post by: captainsadness on September 14, 2019, 06:52:12 pm

My old drive went bad.  I removed it.  But I can't figure out how to remove the songs from the media library.  I've updated the import folders (by removing the lost drive) and run auto-import.  But all the old files are still listed.  And of course if you select them the files cannot be found.  Just want to remove them from library.
Thanks for any help.

Just select the Files View under Audio,
then search using the search box in the top right corner of MC Standard View for the old hard drive letter, such as "E:\" or whatever the drive was, assuming that you haven't let another drive take that letter,
check that only the files from the old disk are shown,
press Delete and select "Remove from media library" only.

Done.

There are other ways, and settings that could have made this automatic, but the above will work even in MC18 and is very simple.
