The drop-down directory list grows by one every time I edit files in a new directory. I have thousands of directories and over a terabyte of music. I would like to clear the drop-down directory list so that I can use it again. How do I do this? The list is too long and has become unwieldy.

Thank you.

Close and reopen the program.

That was a joke, right? I can shut down the computer and the next time I use MP3Tag the list is still there.

When I restart the program the list has only 10 entries.

You can delete an entry from the list by pressing the [Shift+Del] keyboard shortcut.

Kind regards,
