I reindexed some songs via network shared folder.

After I delete a few songs in the network shared folder, I reindexed, the few songs were still there.

what should I do to delete the songs completely ?

  Empty the trash? Depending upon your system, this might interfere.

  If reindex doesn't do the job, try rebuild index in diagnostics menu.

  I had this same problem and this is what worked for me. 

  I have 3 connected BluOS players. My suspicion is that if I reindexed the library from a different player to the player I first set up the library, it created a duplicate library rather than replace it. i.e. it combined a Player1 library and a Player2 library. The same thing happened if I reindexed from the third player, so I ended up with 3 copies of every song. 

  If I deleted the NAS share from one of the players it removed one set of copies from the library, but retained the other two. So I had to select each player individually, then remove each NAS share from THAT player's settings. 

  When the library was completely empty I then added a new NAS share to just one player. Now, when I reindex I only ever do it when I have that same player selected (I actually have the others powered off, just in case). 

  It's a bit annoying, but I now don't get duplicated tracks and I can also completely clear the library.

  One for the BluOS team to look into and fix?
