Deleting sample files from Windows Media Player

hi all.

i'm having an issue with the wmp.
i just had a fresh install of my win7 copy and after firing up the media player, i instantly deleted those sample files on my hard drive (those 3 songs that come pre-installed).

however, they won't vanish from my media library - which is pretty much disturbing me quite alot.

is there any solution to this?

and my apologies in case this has already been answered in some other thread.

regards

jan.

well, the point is..
there are no more files.. forgot to add that in the initial post.

they are already deleted, but are still being displayed in the library...

thanks rsvr,

however that didn't do it.

furthermore i noticed that the folder which i added recently has for some reason vanished from the library. the cover art, however, is still within the picture tab as is the playlist.

I noticed this too. I deleted the files and they still appeared in the library. Only after refreshing the view of the library or restarting WMP did they disappear as they should have. Have you tried closing WMP and starting it again?

yup.
as i said.. the folder i added before even disappeared, after today's reboot..

Hi guys

You might want to try un-installing WMP, rebooting, re-installing and seeing how that goes???

But when WMP is installed, you have to set up the library and settings on the first run. The sample media files are then copied to Music again.

That is a circle.
