Can't delete tracks off USB of files that can't be found. Please Help :(

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to delete a track (with no file location/with an exclamation point !) off my USB playlist. I deleted the origin of the track many moons ago so the original file is permanently gone. Now, I have to look at the dead tracks on my playlist and they will never work. When I right-click on it nothing happens. Do I have to delete my entire playlist and start over to get rid of the dead tracks? Seems like there should be an easier way. Please help.

Hey Drew,

My recommendation is to wipe the drive - format it and then export the music / playlists that you need on the device. If you deleted the song from the drive previously, but never removed the song, that's more of a hassle to deal with if it won't just delete the entry from the playlist.

I have the original file deleted off of everything except the Rekordbox playlist...because Rekordbox won't allow me to delete it from the playlist. Is there no way to just simply delete the track with the missing file from the playlist? Thanks for the speedy help.
