Apologies, I forgot to include the essentials. I'm running MMW 4.1.8.1744 but suspect that it is a long running issue. I have had tracks showing 0 bytes for years but only recently noticed that this action is the cause. I did update to 1745 briefly but had to roll back due to an unrelated issue.
I'm removing tracks by navigating the media tree to [collection] --> Virtual CD, then selecting tracks and pressing delete (or right clicking and selecting remove) to get the popup confirmation asking 'Do you really want to remove x tracks from Virtual CD?' Perhaps the issue is occurring because this function would delete the original file on anything other than the Virtual CD node so it presumably shares some of the code.
Removing the tracks in this manner doesn't set the size to 0 every time but based on the testing I've done since I discovered the link last night it's about four times out of every five.
Since you suggest it, I tried removing the tracks through the Properties window and that didn't change the file size. That gives me a reliable workaround but it's not as efficient as selecting and deleting through the VCD node, especially when removing large quantities of tracks.
