Unable to Delete ANY Songs from iTunes

No matter what I do, I can not get my iTunes to let me delete ANY songs. I can highlight the songs I want out of there but when I go to edit, there is not an option for deletion. I've tried to hit my DELETE button on the keyboard and even tried to hold the ALT key and hit DELETE at the same time.

I do not even have a trash bin that they talk about in the "How To" guide.

Grrr!

Anyone???

Make sure you are highlighting the song in your iTunes library or in a regular playlist and not in a smart playlist (which maintain the songs in the list based on set criteria so preventing you from deleting from one). Click on the Music icon underneath Library in the source list to bring up your song list in the main pane, locate the song(s) there that you want to remove and you should be able to delete. Click on the song you want to remove to select it and then press the Backspace or Delete key on your keyboard: How to remove items from iTunes - Windows
