I mistakenly clicked on the box that said do this every time and clicked on Keep Files so, now I can't delete my music file from my computer through iTunes. I have to find it in my computer folders and then seperately delete it. I have contacted apple and all I get is the link from the iTunes website on how to delete a file from iTunes. Please help. Thanx.[/quote] I am having the same problem! I accidentally clicked the "remember my answer and don't ask me again" and now they don't delete from my computer like I want them to! Every time I "Add a New Folder" it ends up sticking all of my crap that I don't want BACK into my library. I don't want to manually search for and delete over what is now 500 songs!

Why won't the tab-key work on this window. alt+del/backspc is fine in playlists, but is there any reason why the tab-key doesn't change the default button on this window? What is the reason I DO HAVE TO GRAP my mouse and choose the 'Move to trash'. it's plain stupid, and yes, I listen a lot of podcasts that i'm not willing to keep!!! :mad:

In some cases, it still involves copying the old file name and pasting it into the new file name. It also doesn't take into account that you might want to listen to the new file before deleting the old one, to make sure you got a better rip. I also run into this with GarageBand, as I sometimes update a song I've had in my library for a while and listened to many times, and by default it simply gets dumped into iTunes — I don't have to go mucking about in the Finder when it's easier to do it the way Michael described.
