Media Library Question

Hey all,

I like to use the Media Libary with Winamp and I normally set it up so I'm using the Local Media - Audio view where it has 2 columns:

The first column lists the media library by Artists.
The second column lists the media library by Albums.

Anyhow, went into Options > Preferences > Media Library > Watc h Folders tab and deleted a couple album folders that I no longer wanted in my Media Library view.

Unfortunately, even though I deleted those folders, the files still show in my Media Library and I have absolutely no idea how to get rid of them. I have rescanned, rebooted, all that to no avail.

Can someone please help me? Thanks

PS - I'm sorry if this was already answered but I searched the forums and could not find a similar topic.

Thanks again

In the Search field at the top, type in:

?filename begins x:\path\to\folder

Then delete all results in the bottom pane (either via rt click menu, or ctrl+a > delete)

So if one of the folders was in E:\My Music\Melvins\We Reach the Music of the Melvins

I'd type in:

?filename begins E:\My Music\Melvins\We Reach the Music of the Melvins

?

I did that and it didn't work.

Put quotes round the path if there's any spaces in it

?filename begins "E:\My Music\Melvins\We Reach the Music of the Melvins"
