You must hold down Ctrl key while you click or press Ctrl+Del and the file gets moved to recycle bin.
When you also hold down Shift the file is completely removed

Hi,
I have found a way to do it:
Select Tools and Then Options
Click On Tools
Create a New Tool with the name Delete Song
The Path should be: c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
The Parameter should be: /c del "%\_path%"
(Don't forget the quotation marks)
DeSelect For all selected Files (So it only works on the currently selected song)
Click Ok
Now Go to the main screen and select a song which you want to delete
Right click on the song and Select Tools, in There Delete Song, after that the song will be gone.
Try this first on a folder with only a couple of songs.
I Hope this helps
Regards
Michael
Hi Dano.

Regards
Michael

Just come across this.
Re Karaoke files: is there a way to delete the corresponding CDG file at the same time.
Cheers
