Batch delete files from library

whatFM

Hello, Is there a way to batch delete files from the library? Traktor is giving me problems since i update to 4.2. It is very slow starting up for one, but what is even worse is after a recently consolidating my library from several harddrives, to one HD, Traktor freezes at the start up consistency check trying to scan a HD that no longer exists. I have deleted the drive from Traktors file browser, but it still tries to scan the drive and all the files are located in my track collection. How do I force these to remove from the library? There are some 150k files, I can't go one by one. Deleting the library and rescanning all the files is going to take a couple of weeks even with multi-core processing, I have over 400k tracks in the library.

Hello,

First of all, Traktor actually works only with the tracks you added in it's Collection.

Then, it sees the libraries you added (so, here's you first step: remove the non-existing ones!)

Finally, do a "Check Consistency" (right-click your track collection).
Traktor will find entries of every missing track and will ask you to delete them (do so!).
