Deleting Clips and Playlists

Because Media Clips are only shortcuts, you can freely delete clips and playlists from My Library without worrying about destroying any actual media files (unless you want that to happen).

To permanently remove the associated media file from your computer when you delete its clip from My Library, select Also delete files(s)... from the "Delete Clips" dialog. (This option is not available when you delete clips from a playlist.)

How to Delete Clips

1. Open My Library.
2. Find and select the clip or clips you want to delete.
3. Right-click on the clips and select Delete. Or select Delete from the Edit menu. Or press [DELETE] on your keyboard. The "Delete Clips" dialog opens.
4. Click Delete to confirm.

If you select the Also delete files(s) from hard drive option, RealPlayer will permanently remove the associated media files from your computer.
