What it Does

Use this with caution! There is no undo!

This command will completely, and unrecoverably delete all of the data stored in your Library. It will not delete any of your media files, however, it should still be used with caution, as there is some information stored within the database that is not stored within file tags. More specifically, the following data is stored in the database only:

• Playlists and AutoPlaylists
• Play History
• Unsaved Tags
• Podcast Subscriptions
• Devices & Services settings
• Collections settings
• Media Sharing settings

See File Properties & Tag Formats] for complete details what information isn't saved to the file tags.

Clear Database

Manage database dialog

To clear the database use File > Manage database from the Main Menu and click Clear database to empty the MediaMonkey Library.

Alternatively you can manually remove the MediaMonkey database file when MediaMonkey is closed to clear the MediaMonkey Library. A new database will be created when MediaMonkey is started.
