Title: Doubles of everything
Post by: hstokar on August 19, 2022, 10:20:21 am
I had to reinstall Media Center as I reinstalled Win 11.  My Library is on E drive.  My backup is on an an external G drive.   I now have duplicates of every track (more than 2TB). Each track on E AND G.   How do I fix this?

If they are all audio files.  Go to Audio... Files...  then sort by the "filename" column.  Select all the files that start with the G drive.  Right click... Delete... Remove from library.  You can do the same for Video and Image files.  Then go to Tools... Import...  and edit your auto import folders and make sure you don't have MC set to auto import the G drive.

Hmmm.   Add the column "Filename (path) to your view.  What's in that column?

You can search for E: or G: to select just one of them, then delete (carefully) one.  Do a few and check your work.

Make sure you delete them from the library, not delete from disk or else your backup G: might end up empty from the procedure.

It sounds like auto-import is enabled and it scanned/imported all files it found on both drives. You might wanna setup your auto-import settings to only import from the E: drive.
