{{#lst:Set content and scan|update}}


== Removing videos ==
* You can remove the contents of entire folders/sources (without deleting the actual files) from the library by setting content to <None>, even if the parent folder is still included in the library. See '''[[Set content and scan#Switching scrapers and removing sources from the library|Set content and scan]]''' for more info.
* Individual entries can also be removed (without deleting the actual files) by bringing up the contextual menu (press {{keypress|C}} on a keyboard) and selecting "Remove from library". Those videos will be scanned in the next time the library is updated unless the parent folder's '''[[set content|content settings]]''' has '''Exclude path from library updates''' selected.
* If you've deleted or moved the actual video files and need to remove non-working library entries, you can use '''Clean library''' in {{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Videos#Library|Settings → Videos → Library → '''Clean library...''']] }}
* While most users seem to prefer using a desktop computer to manage the actual "physical" files, including deleting them, there is an option to let you delete files in {{kodi}} under {{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Appearance#File lists|Settings → Appearance → File lists → '''Allow file renaming and deletion''']] }}
== Removing sources ==
{{see also|Set content and scan}}
To remove a source you need to use the contextual menu ({{keypress|C}} on a keyboard by default) on a video source.
* Select "Videos" in the home screen menu
* Select one of the Sources ( 'Movies' , 'TV' , etc )
* Use the contextual menu ({{keypress|C}}) to bring up the additional options for that source
* Use 'Edit' or 'Delete' to modify the source
== Excluding directories/folders ==
