Local files that are not there are still visible

[joopwijnen]

In my local files I can still see some albums that are no longer on my Macbook but strangly enough I can still see them??

I can even push play, but (of course) nothing happens when I do this.

I would like to erase these albums or not see them but how?? 

In my preferences I have switched off al the local/iTunes tracks etc so I don't see anything else, but they are still there......????

See attachment for the "off line tracks" (that don't exist) and my settings

You might have to re -install the app. Maybe it just hasn't recognised that it doesn't exist.

That was the solution, thanks

No problem!

I have the same problem, but a removal and fresh install of the application did not resolve the issue.

My original issue - which may be related - is that Spotify will not play some songs.  I'm guessing it wants to play a local file instead of a cloud file by default.  Somewhere along the way, the local filie (on a network drive) was not available.  Then, when I try to play the song in any location, it will not play, move the scrobbly bar. nothing.

I have thus far...

* Deselected the local files in the app preferences

* Removed the storage folder / 'cache' of local files

* Removed the application

* Reinstalled the application

As the OP says and shows, my local files still appear in the list with no option to remove.  Oh, and they won't play either.

... and after removing all Spotify folders from my computer (from the Library section) and reinstalling the app I can play the songs in question and no local files are noted. I also had to reset all my preferences.

Hi,

I had this problem too. @MattSuda or @meahtenoha should be able to help you. They are rock stars and I am a Rising star so they should be able to help you.

Thanks!
