  Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
  In the "Folder Options" window
  Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.

  So I have two microsoft accounts using gmail addresses, the first is the one who has all my data (throughout the onedrive, Skype, xbox, windows, etc.) and the second has nothing. I want to do is delete the second so that I can use the address as primary on the first alias (as is my most used gmail account). Is this possible?

  account 2: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  Hi Dan,.

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  From the description, it seems that you want to remove one of the two Microsoft accounts.

  Once you remove the secondary account from Microsoft, you can use the primary address, but you can go as an alias. 

  To remove a Microsoft account, you can see the Microsoft article and check if that helps:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/remove-account

  Note: Before deleting an account Microsoft make a backup of data.

  You can also consult the Microsoft account and check if it helps:

  To remove the Gmail account, you can green light, making the Gmail Web site.

  Just reply to the State of the question.

  Hi Kathleen,.

  How can I prevent double or invalid entries to be added to my library when I play music files?

  When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

  To prevent music files to be automatically added to your library:

  1. in Windows Media Player, click the Tools menu, Options.
  
  2. on the Player tab, clear music to add to the library when played check box.

  Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

  If you have problems, try these methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Clear database of Windows Media Player cache files.

  a. exit Windows Media Player.
  b. press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  c. Select the Media Player folder, and then delete.

  d. restart Windows Media Player.

  Method 2: Delete the Windows Media Player database and check.

  a. exit Windows Media Player.
  b. press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
  c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
  Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
  d. restart Windows Media Player.
  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
