This is WMP 12 on Windows 7, right?

'Ghost' songs or videos in the library are a common problem with WMP 12.
What exactly happens when you right-click the deleted videos in the
library and select Delete again?

You should be able to get rid of them by restoring the media library,
through Tools - Advanced - Restore media library (press Ctrl+M if you
don't see the Tools menu).
Note that restoring the library will make you lose all current play
counts, and possibly ratings too.

Regards

Go to

C:\USERNAME\AppData\Roming\Microsoft\
or
C:\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\

and delete the windows media player folder

make sure WMP is closed while doing this.

ps: im not sure if the windows media player folder is in the Roaming folder
or in the Local folder
