There are a number of Albums in my library which have either been moved or deleted (outside JRiver). How can I rebuild or refresh the Library so these entries disappear? At the moment, I have to identify them one-by-one and delete which is a tad manual.

For comparison, in Windows Media Player (that I am trying to move away from), if you try to play a file that no longer exists, WMP will remove that entry on it's own (sometimes takes several attempts).

Thanks.

Because Media Center is often used in setups where the media resides on a networked drive, where they may be disconnected, it does not remove 'missing' files by default.
If you go to Tools > Import > Configure Auto Import, you can enable the "Fix Broken Links" option. I recommend that you use the "Protect files on missing drives" setting.

Thank you. That solves the issue. It has taken me some time to try it.
I had not setup Auto Import in an attempt to keep things simple. Now I have. It seems to work more like "Monitor this folder for changes" than "Auto Import" - but that is just a semantic quibble on my part. Now that I have tried it and can see what it does (I think ) it's making sense.
And, thanks to your settings, the files / folders that had been moved, don't show up in MC anymore. Thanks.
PS since the original post, I am now on MC24.
