Any setting of the Hide indexed tracks can only be done from the Edit menu. Choosing the multiples tab allows setting a number at a time. Using this feature does not stop them showing in the Hoster search dialog, it only stops them being shown in the songbooks that you print.

As lonman has stated you can delete all or a selection of files using the Edit multiples dialog.
If you choose to delete your KMA files this way it will completly remove them from your hard drive, which from your first post seems that's what you want. With your kmh files however it will only remove the small kmh file but leave your original mp3+g or zip file in place ready to be imported again.
So if you wanted to remove all sign of these (Perhaps for An Audit) you would still have to use Windows explorer to delete the original file.

Also after deleting them in the edit dialog the folders list in the build database dialog would still contain these folders so if any of the files remained in those folders and you pressed the re scan folders button at any time while a type was selected they would be re added to the database.

Also in my post #4, if you did go down the route of uninstalling to completely start again I think you would have to delete your Hoster folder from the C./MTU folder after uninstalling or at least rename it to use as a backup before re-installing as I'm not sure if uninstalling removes this folder as that contains a lot of your present data.

I would guess that with 6000 cb and 6000 SC you would be getting a great deal of repeats

Well there is a reson to my madness. So I can quickly identify brands I'm putting SC from 01-299, Spanish 300-499, All Star 500-599, CB 600-799, Audio files 8000-8999 and SGB, DG 900-999. I have a few LG which will also be in 300's and a few KBay that will be 400's. That way in my songbook I can let the singer know what brand of song it is without printing the brand of each song next to the song...I'm tring not to move all my files, but there's going to be alot. I have 257 SC CD's (6600 songs)landing on Tues then the fun begins. And yes there's goin to be around 2500 duplicate songs with SC and CB...Well it's no secret now Roy, my wife, then girlfriend bought a KJ system from a guy going out of business. We became aware that the CD's (185 total) we bought were illegal last September. So the mad dash was on to make things right. We bought the CB6000 in November and deleated all our SC. We survived not having them but we lost some singers...
