Hello everyone,

Another issue with PD 2024. In the library window there are music clips that I don’t want there. I just want the media that I’m using on my project and yet, I can't figure out how to get rid of them. I don't mind having them as I use them frequently, but I want then in my "Downloads" folder, not My Media. See attached image for details.

Thanks

Click one of the files. Then Right Mouse Button click. Depending on where you are, you might have to "open file location" or "properties" to find the path. To delete the files, or move them, you will probably have to close PD, then delete/move. Then start PD again.

To remove songs left in the library, I right-click and select Remove.
Only works for songs added by us;
The songs used in the project do not remain in the library after the PD closes.
I'm sorry if I didn't understand your problem well.

Thank you. I had to click "Remove from Disk". I think I may need to download again whenever I use them.
