Deleting Media and Playlists

You can easily delete an album, a playlist, or other media items from your media

items, you’ll see the dialog box shown in Figure 8-30, and you can specify whether to

delete the selected item from the library only, or from the library and your computer.

This dialog box also has a “Don’t show this message again” checkbox. If you select

this option, the default action you select will always be used when you delete items

and you won’t see this warning prompt again. You can still control the way deleting

items works, however. To do this, right-click Library and then select More Options.

On the Library tab, clear the “Delete files from my computer when deleted from

library” checkbox if you want to delete items only from the library. Otherwise, select

this checkbox to delete items from the library and your computer.
