Topic: Deleting files within Virtual DJ
Hi
If I right click a file in Virtual DJ and select "File Operations > Delete", it deletes the file from the disk, but leaves it in the Virtual DJ database & I have to then manually research and remove it, otherwise it still appears in searches, is there a reason for this I can't see or is it possible to remove a file from the database when you delete it automatically.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that's not true overall - I've deleted a file as recently as today from the browser interface and the track did not show up in future searches (MacOS).
The track still resided in the database.xml when I checked, but a Clean Database removed it.
 

I do a remove from search DB then file delete if I want it permanently erased.

I think it's left in the DB in case you decide to use the same track again and all the previous info is still there.
