Delete Old Playlists

If you no longer wish to keep a playlist that you created (either manually or automatically), you can delete them at any time by taking Play Music menu Option 8 : Delete old playlists. When you take this option, you'll immediately see this:

The form will list every file with a .play extension currently residing in the $HOME/.local/share/giocoso3/play folder. You arrow up-and-down until a playlist is highlighted; to select it, press the spacebar (which results in an asterisk appearing in the square brackets next to the playlist name). To de-select an item selected in error, just press the spacebar whilst the item is highlighted once more: the asterisk marker should disappear.

You can select multiple playlists at once:

When you're ready, press [Enter] or tab round to the [OK] button and then press [Enter]: all the selected files will be immediately deleted from disk. No 'are you sure' messages will appear: the files just go!

Obviously, play lists are simply text files on disk: you could delete them yourself using 'external' tools, like your distro's standard file manager, or rm commands in a terminal. Play Music menu Option 7 is simply there to make it more convenient to delete old playlists by doing it within the context of a running Giocoso session. It's possible doing it this way is perhaps a little bit safer, too!
