Hello,
I would like to find files which are in my Media Monkey Media folders (...Music\MediaMonkey\Music and ...Music\MediaMonkey\Podcasts), but which are not in the MM database.
For example, I've deleted them within MM, but selected 'Delete from the database only', when I meant to select 'Delete from the database and drive'.
I appreciate that there's 'Add/Recan files to the Library...', which would be useful if it showed you the files, before it added them. However, I do not want to add them back in, just locate them, so I can manually delete them using File Explorer.
Thank you for your help,
Robert

Re: Locate files, not in MM database.
There is no method to do this. You can see the files via Folders, but it won't show which aren't in the Library.

How about if you add rescan, and then sort by date added, and then choose which files to delete from todays date added.??

Thank you RobS - Excellent.
I did this, but I discovered it's also worth exporting the log after add/recan, rather than just checking by Added.
When I checked the logs, I found it had erroneously 'updated' some files, and these didn't have their Added date updated.
