WMP 12 deleted files still showing in Library

I manualy deleted files from my Pictures folder and they are still showing in
my library on wmp12. It will not let me delete the so called ghost files of
files that no longer are there from my wmp12 library.

How can I get these older photos off the list? Setting this up for a network
PC for the family and do not want folks to see stuff like WifesBoobs, or what
not on the list. And Hush..... most every one got some thing like this on
there PC. LOL

Thank you for your help.

Have you tried to "Apply Media Info Changes" ?

in the library goto

"Tools" > "Apply Media Info Changes"


If you can't find "Tools" press "Ctrl + M" then it should show up

This seems to be a common issue in WMP 12. You might be able to get rid
of the pictures by restoring the library: Tools - Advanced - Restore
media library. Note that restoring the library will make you lose all
play counts, and possibly ratings too.
