Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / January 2005Removing Tracks from my Library
I'm using iTunes 4.7 on a PC and would like to remove some of the tracks I had added to my library but have no clue how to do it. Any ideas? I don't want to delete the actual files from my disk or anything, just want to remove them from my iTunes library. Really appreciate any / all help. - manzoor > I'm using iTunes 4.7 on a PC and would like to remove some of the > tracks I had added to my library but have no clue how to do it.

You'll be asked whether you want to remove it from the hard disk, or just from the Library. If you select & delete it in a playlist, it'll just delete it from that playlist. > I'm using iTunes 4.7 on a PC and would like to remove some of the > tracks I had added to my library but have no clue how to do it.

Select the desired track from the Library and hit [delete]. A dialog will appear confirming your command. Select [yes]. Another dialog will then appear advising that some of the selected track are in your iTunes Music Library - Do you want to move them to the Trash? (Recycle Bin in your case) - select [yes]. This sequence will remove the track from the library but then only move it to the Trash/Recycle Bin - not "nuke" it. You'll have to move it from the Trash to wherever you like in order to keep it elsewhere. If you select [no], it's gone. :) JR > > I'm using iTunes 4.7 on a PC and would like to remove some of the > > tracks I had added to my library but have no clue how to do it.

Answer "no", and the track is removed from your library, but remains as a file where ever you had it stored. It is much easier to do this than risk accidentally empyting trash that you "really" just wanted to move somewhere else. You can move the sound file anywhere you like. Use the Get Info panel to locate where the file is, before deleting it. > This sequence will remove the track from the library but then only move it to > the Trash/Recycle Bin - not "nuke" it.

I learned something, too. :) JR |
