Unable to remove album

athoopen

All,

I have a small challenge. Strawberry has a specific album in the Library but this album is not on disk. I did all the possible scans but it will not remove.
Any help on how to remove an album from the library which is not any more on disk.

TIA,
Arjan

Try this:
Tools > Settings > Collection

Remove your source folder (Under, "These folders will be scanned for music to make up your collection")

Click "OK". Close Strawberry.

Open Strawberry. Collection should now be empty, and you can add the folder back in. Allow Strawberry to fully scan the folder.

That will also cause you to lose playlists, and possible also play counts and ratings unless it's saved to tags.

@jonas Ahh, too big a hammer, I guess! I didn't think of that. Thank you for the caveat.

What would the solution be, then? Editing the database? That might be beyond the skill level of many users.
