Good evening everybody
Not important but very curious.

My video library contains, among many others, 3 videos. Same name but different extensions and lenghts ( Several reencoding tests )

These videos does not exist anymore on my PC. Windows Explorer sees nothing in the folder. VLC sees nothing. Window Media Player sees nothing. But Mezzmo sees 3 video files...... deleted.
Why these deleted videos are in Mezzmo ? Simple. There were inside a PC folder when I managed Mezzmo. Starting the soft.
The folder has been deleted manually on my PC
But Mezzmo keeps seeing these videos.

Waouh ! I think very easy to solve that.
In Mezzmo I mark each video and right click delete.
Impossible. Mezzmo answers it can't do that and I have to delete that in the folder on my PC.
But in the folder these files does not exist anymore
Mezzmo kept that in memory.
How to do to clean out of Mezzmo theses ghosts ?
Thanks a lot.

There are two easy ways I can think of. First, you can run maintenance and select the option to remove entries that no longer exist on your computer. Second, you can create a smart filter and have the results include the finename. Then go into the smart filter playlist and remove the files.
