To permanently delete album -
This will delete album from Roon and from disk. Thereâs no going back.
Maybe your just want to hide album in Roon?
As @xxx says, itâs probably better to hide an album with Roon than delete it. Thereâs a few reasons:
Since you are on this topic I have a basic question. If I have two streaming services and then decide to sign out of one of them in the settings, would that also do a clean delete of all the saved albums from that streaming service? If I later signed back in would i have to start over?
Thanks for The suggestions. I think however I explained my problem poorly. I am currently only using Roon for Tidal. In the Library folder there are some 20 albums. I would like to use it to for easy access and reminders of favourites, albums in heavy rotation, or new albums I would like to play soon, but not immidiately. I would therefore like to add and subtract albums from this âfileâ on an ongoing basis.
Perhaps there is another, better way of achieving what I am after?
Best regards
Hans
For what you want to do delete would work fine. All that does is remove the Tidal âHeartâ and takes it out of your Tidal view.
You might also want to consider using Tags. You can create a Tag, âMust Tryâ and add that tag to albums you added from Tidal. Then when you select that Tag youâll only see the Must Try albums. Remove the Tag and itâs out the rotation, or delete the album if you want it out of your library.
You might also want to look at some of the ideas a user raised in this post.
No deletion happens when you log out. You just wonât see them.
If you wanted to delete all the Tidal albums, the best way would be to use Focus.
Album view>Focus>Format>Tidal/Qobuz. Then youâll see all the albums in that service. You can hide them all or delete them all by selecting all of them, clicking Edit, then hide or delete. No real good reason to do that, I suppose, but that will actually take them out of your view whether youâre signed in or not.
Thank you Scott for your help as alwaysâŚ
Yep, just another anormality of this program. Brought to you by wannabe coders.
The hidden reply thing is great!
When would I ever look?
at what?

At the files in my Roon folder. Roon does that so I donât have to. I just chuck them into the pot.
well, I always get a panick attack when I see empty folders as I think aomething has gone missingâŚ
So offering a clean delete (including folder) does make some sense imho.
is it ok to just go into the music folder on the hard drive roon is watching and just delete files and folders from there?
You should delete them from within Roon. After that, I think you can delete them from your watched music folder. At least, I have done that with some.
Hi Jim. But what if you want to delete a very large artist folder? I want to re-import them to see if that fixes my edits from my other issue.
I donât know. I only have a handful of albums. I had deleted all of them from my Roon library and could not get Roon to bring them back in. So, I deleted all of them from my watched folder and then copied them back in and Roon put all of them back in my library.
Maybe give it a try with one of your albums thatâs messed up. Delete from your Roon library and then delete from your watched folder. Copy back to your watched folder and see what happens.
Yeah I was just thinking of trying that. Will see what happens. Thanks
I would delete the albums using the file system. Then âclean upâ the library In Roon after the fact.
