Videos will not disappear from Media Player, despite being deleted!

[Dexter1759]

Hi All,

I've had this niggling problem for quite some time now. Back around Christmas I put a couple of eps of Top Gear on my N900 to watch whilst away from home!

And deleted them pretty much straight after watching them! But they still appear in the Media Player library, with thumbnails, I can select to delete them as usual, and they disappear until the next time the media player is opened!

This problem persists with these two video files, despite even having to reflash my N900 when I got a never ending reboot!

Any ideas what happened and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Dex

PS. I have watched and deleted plenty of movies since these, with no such problem!

Are the files actually deleted, or is the N900 having problems deleting them? If they're actually deleted okay, you can run "tracker-processes -r" to reset the Media Player index. Next time you restart Media Player it'll then reindex everything - be aware that this can take a long time and will probably render the phone unusable until it completes.

Yeh the files are defintely deleted.

Ok, will run that. Shouldn't the Media Player check/re-index every now and then anyway?
