Remove Items from Database

This function is used to remove items from a specified Album or Track database or all open databases.

If a path is not specified, the current selected items will be removed from all open databases.

The path may contain any of the escape sequences described in Escape Sequences. At runtime, the path to a database must be absolute (/) or relative to the home folder (~/).

Album and Track databases associate entries with open files by either a folder path or file path. When tracks are moved and possibly when renamed, these paths are invalidated. In order to solve the problem you can use this function to remove the database items associated with the current selected files before you move or rename files. After the move or rename function you can use an Update Database function to repopulate the moved files.

If a specified database is not open this function will be ignored.

You can optionally save a database after updating via the Save after removing option.

This function is not valid during Grouped or Batched modes
