Videos removed from Windows Media keeps returning
For months I have REMOVE some old videos in my Windows Media Player. They suppress with I also say to remove it from the computer and they disappear for a week or two. Then about 2 weeks or so later, when I go into my Player Windows media - will they once again - the exact same old videos that I deleted previously. I did about 3 - 4 times now and with the same results. HOW can I get this old videos out of my windows media player for GOOD? Thank you.
Hello
a. you delete videos from the Player library or the hard drive itself?
b. you are able to play these videos that appear after deleting?
I think that you delete the files from the media player library.
This problem can occur if the media library is corrupt. Rebuild the library and check if this solves the problem.
Follow these steps:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
3. Select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
Note: you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
4. 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:
1. exit Windows Media Player.
2. click on start, run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click OK.
3. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
4. restart Windows Media Player.

How can I remove the Windows Media Player library?
I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition and Windows Media Player 12.0.7600.166667.
I finally got my music organized, so I deleted some files from my computer and moved songs between folders. It seems that I can't remove all the songs from Windows Media Player which do not exist physically. I tried to empty my entire library, I could rebuilt it. In Windows Media Player, I clicked on the music (left), and then I clicked on the first song, hold down the SHIFT key and click the last song so that all my music has been chosen. Then, I clicked and selected delete. I said that I wanted to remove JUST the library, no computer. When he was done, there was still 5501 songs left. I know that once, I could just delete wmplibrary.db, but I get no hits on that when I get into the field at the bottom of the start menu. I decided to uninstall Windows Media Player and reinstall, but when I go to start-> Control Panel-> uninstall a program, the only entry I see that looks remotely Windows Media Player is Windows Media Encoder 9 Series... but I wasn't brave enough to try it.
Any ideas? Thank you!
Wow - thank you, my mp3 player thanks and my children thank you! The convenience store did not help - he told me that my library has been altered... as I didn't know that already! But the manual method operated very well... but if someone else is reading this for help, I don't have to start my computer in safe mode because one of the files (which was large enough that it WAS probably the file that I needed deleted) was in use with the network share and I had no idea how close anyone who opened. But in safe mode worked very well.
Thank you very much for your help! And thanks for the information on troubleshooting: I had never heard of this before!
