Thanks tried that and could not find the music or playlist in all my disks.
How do I create a playlist in Groove Music from my music library with songs copied across to each playlist.
I can create a playlist in Groove Music however I am not able to copy songs to the playlist, is there a method that I am missing. All my playlist songs have been copied to the songs directory however I would prefer to have the songs transferred to each playlist. Can you pls advise how to resolve this issue. Thanks

try searching the disk for a track name in file explorer, to see if the files got moved somehow.

you could use the feedback hub to make the suggestion to the development team (winkey+f)
deleting tracks from a playlist should not delete them from you library, I have just tried and have been unable to replicate that issue, the track remained in the music library and in 'My music' (in groove) and was only removed from the playlist, as expected.

to add music to your playlists, select 'My Music' from the left hand flyout
click on the desired track and click the +
click on the playlist.
tracks remain in 'my music' and can be added to more than one playlist.
note, no music is stored in Groove, your music remains in your library folders, playlists are simply lists of files not the music files themselves.
hope that makes sense, please let me know if I have misunderstood the issue

Many thanks for your response, I deleted the songs in my song list in Groove and it deleted the songs in my library, not sure how this happened. Thank you for your response and I will try and do it again. I am amazed that you cannot add a playlist in Groove directly from your folder.
Thanks again
Pat
