It is called Windows Media Player, not Microsoft.
Open Windows Media Player > at the top, click Library > navigate to the album you do not want > Right click on the album > click Delete > select whether you want to delete the album from the Library, or delete the album from the Library and the computer > click OK

Hi - It sounds like you may have originally deleted the album from your music library rather than WMP... in Windows 7 (and earlier WMP versions) this messes up the database. If you need to delete an album do it in WMP and select 'delete from library and computer'. You'll need to restore your media library (it will completely empty then gradually rebuild) to remove the 'ghost' album... then you should be able to re-rip the album using the correct data.
Follow the guide here (click in space by the arrow if the tools menu is not showing)
> Open Windows Media Player > at the top, click Library
What if Library is grayed out (disabled)?
>navigate to the album you do not want > Right click on the album > click Delete
Well, I found the album with a search, and clicked Delete from the right-button menu, but it does nothing. The album remains. I navigated to the Music folder and deleted the entire directory associated with the album, and yet it still appears in Media Player.
What I'm really trying to do is re-rip the album because all the titles and meta data downloaded from the net were wrong and I want it in a higher quality format. So I've changed the format settings and unchecked the box that causes it to fetch the bad metadata from the network, but the Rip CD button is also disabled, and I assume that's because it thinks I already had the album in the library.
I wrote this a year ago it works great http://www.box.net/shared/ixmqo2695z Windows Media Player Library Remover
