Since WMP 12 is part of the OS now it is no longer a simple fix depending on where you deleted the music from, if for instance you deleted it from my music under library's which is what i did a couple weeks ago ended in a clean install of os to fix it, if you deleted it in windows explorer c: / user / your name / my music you may have a chance, let us have a little more info maybe we can help.

Well it got the music from my zune pass and I moved the Zune folder to a different hdd and now I cant find the folder and it messed up my whole zune pass. So when I found the folder I deleted it from the hdd and restarted downloading from my zune pass.

Hi derekimo

Sometimes that may work as i tried it to no avail, i tried many other things to clear the WMP library and nothing would work short of clean install of OS. There should be an easier way but i didn't find it

No, you can't.

You can try 2 things:
Right Click the bar on top ,just left of the PLAY tab, and choose

Tools>Advanced>Restore media Library
This should clear the library, and works most of the time.

If it doesnt work, make sure "Show Hidden Files" is enabled then
navigate to:
C:/Users/ <User Name> / AppData/ Local / Microsoft

Delete the folder Media Player.

Restart WMP and it will be empty.
