Windows Media Player - How to delete photos/videos

On my dv8t running win 7 64 bit, when I download pix or videos on my laptop

the pix stored in my pix, videos my videos - OK, all right.

Sometimes I'll delete pix and videos from this area.

When I open windows MEDIA PLAYER, if it goes to my pix, it shows pictures of the pix, HOWEVER,

If there are some pix that were removed, a generic icon instead of the thumbnail of the photo deleted.

Exactly the same thing with videos. I tried to delete these Windows MEDIA PLAYER, however the icons

which is now deleted pix & videos will not disappear.

Anyone know how to get rid of 'em once and for all?
Thank you

Hi Billy,

Try the following to force Windows Media Player to rebuild the library database.

A handy utility to view all the files on your PC is called Commander free of charge, on the link below, because it displays the files that the operating system normally hides and has a search function.

http://www.SnapFiles.com/PHP/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10

It is a zipped file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip , which can be used to open it so that you can run the Setup program.

Make sure that Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center are closed.

Launch free Commander, double-click users, double-click on 'your username', double-click local settings, double-click Application Data, double-click Microsoft and double-click Media Player.  Delete all files with the extension .wmdb - do not delete all the files.

Close the free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now start to rebuild the database of library which can take some time, but when it has finished you should see that you already deleted the files are no longer listed here.

Kind regards
