RB 5.0, can't delete files anymore
Hi
After the update it is not possible to delete files from a folder with music collection anymore, while the program is open. It doesn't matter if a track you want to delete is loaded or not, open rekordbox is enough to prevent that.
Choose a track (doesn't matter if it is in the collection or not), right click, show in explorer. Try to delete from computer, or move, or rename.

If that folder is open within rekordbox, the operating system may consider any files within to be "in use," and locks them to prevent accidental changes being made by two different operations, potentially resulting in corruption to the files. This is normal, and probably a good thing that it's been included.
then how do I delete 50 tracks from that folder that I don't want anymore? I have to open up rekordbox, go to that track, right click and, click show in explorer, close rekordbox, delete it within Windows and repeat that 50 times?
+1 the same problem
Yeah, I think it's more of an issue for editing, but you should still be able to delete. I've created a ticket for this.
Personally, I think we still need the "remove from collection and delete from drive" option!
Hey guys - the engineers fixed this in the latest beta.
