find anything. Please help!

alternatively, right click and select delete, then select yes

Thank You YKK

Not working
I'm using Windows Media Player 9

What does it say after you hit delete and select yes? Do you get an error message?

If you have the song in the library you should be able to select "Delete" from the right-click menu. You get a question if you want to delete it on disk too.

If it is in a playlist you should be able to select "Remove from list", but that does not delete it from disk.

If you do not have it in neither library nor a playlist you can select "Open..." from the File menu, find it on disk, and in that dialog right-click on a file and select "Delete", then just cancel that dialog. This deletes it from disk.

Nothing happens when I right click

Are talking about then Windows says the file can't be deleted because its in use?
Thats a problem of XP's ghey thumbnailing technique. You need to -> task manager -> close explorer.exe -> run a shell (cmd) -> dos it to the directory and a del
