• Impossible to delete the file from Windows Media Player

  I'm on Windows 8 and tried to remove an artist from my Windows Media Player library. It does not work it just did nothing. Instead, I deleted the file from my music folder, but the artist remains in my library and now does not play the file.

  How can I fix it?
  Is there someway to prevent that from happening again with other music files?

  Hey Tapper,

  I suggest you to clear the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem still occurs.

  To do:

  a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  b. 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.

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  b. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  c. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  I hope this helps.

  If you want to continue copying, then you can copy if the default location for the new user account.

  Sign in with the user account that you may have created. To ensure that this new user account has administrator privileges.

  a. open the Explorer, click on organize, and select folder and Search Options

  b. click the display and check the option Show hidden files and folders box and click OK to save the settings.

  Now navigate to your C:\Users\(Old Username folder) and copy all the files and folders in the folder C:\Users\(Old Username) in the C:\Users\(New Username folder).
