Hi EBob, A. What happens when you try to try to delete the playlist? B. Do you get any error message while deleting? I would suggest you to try the following steps to delete the playlist from the media player. 1.Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Windows Media Player. If the Player is currently open and you’re in Now Playing mode, click the Switch to Library button in the upper-right corner of the Player. 2.In the Player Library, right-click the item that you want to delete, and then click Delete. To select multiple adjacent items, press and hold the Shift key while selecting. To select non-adjacent items, press and hold the Ctrl key while selecting. 3.If prompted, click one of the following options: •Delete from library only This option deletes the link to the file from your Player Library but it doesn't delete the file from your computer. •Delete from library and my computer This option deletes both the link to the file from your Player Library and the file from your computer.
