N900 deleted files are still shown in the media player
 

Hello Experts,

I have deleted approximately 1600 files in different folders which were built up due to installation of different games like heroes and angry birds.

I deleted the folders using terminal as it was only seen through it only. Now all the directories are gone but the music and videos of those directories are still shown in the media player.

I tried to manually remove those files from the media player but it comes up again.

What to do with this? How to clean the mess in play lists?

did you try rebooting your phone? or restarting tracker or rebuilding database?

Hi,

I rebooted the phone and restarted the tracker but it did not work.

I haven't rebuild the database. can you pls let me know how to do that and will it affect my phone book and calender?

tracker-processes -r or check those files on ur memory properly

Open x-terminal and type:
Will make the tracker rebuild the database. Your phone book and calendar should be safe.
