I am new to MP3Tag. I loaded 4 files, edited one of them, saved. Now they are the only files that show up in the main screen, no matter how I try to load a batch for editing. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling the software but I am stuck with those 4 files. How can I clear them so that I can load additional files. Thanks!

Which ways have you tried?  
You could use e.g.  
File\>Change directory ... or  
File\>Add directory... or  
drag&drop files from the explorer.

In addition to the advice from @ohrenkino:

Did you accidentally activate the [Filter](https://docs.mp3tag.de/filter/) with F3?  
(Press this keyboard key again or View -\> Filter to deactivate it).

LyricsLover, you are correct. I had F3 checked. As soon as I unchecked it, my files appeared. Thank you. Also, thanks @ohrenkino.
