Deleting imported audio files in iMovie.

I imported some music from iTunes into iMovie and I have decided that I don't want to use it. How do I delete the imported audio files from the Music Library in iMovie.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

My built in audio library on iMovie is gone, how do I fix it? I edited an iMovie video and added a popular song to it. After loading that from iTunes, my built in audio library is gone. How do I restore that? All that is showing in the audio music is 3 songs from my music app. Just hoping there is a way to restore my builtin audio library.

Cannot delete music from iMovie Music Library I recently created a sample project. I dragged a few songs from my iTunes library into the iMovie sound library. I wanted to delete a couple of songs. I right clicked, clicked on "reveal in finder," deleted the song. This was per instructions found here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251652599. No luck, as the title to the song is still listed in the library. Dragging the song to the trash can does nothing, as does highlighting the song and hitting the delete key. I want to completely remove these songs. I do not want them showing up in the library at all. I'm using a Macbook Pro, M1X.

IMOVIE & Apple Music How do I import song tracks from Apple Music into my Imovie project? I was able to do it, but no longer. I have a bunch of song tracks currently residing in my iMovie under audio and video, and would like to remove them.

Hi, New-To-iMovie,

Select the audio clip and do a File/Reveal in Finder. Delete the audio clip from the Original Media folder that pops up.
