Yes. It will be on the Mac, just trash it from the folder, once you Drag & Drop it.
Is it possible for anyone to understand that I'm asking for the music folder for the music program to be on an external drive instead of the desktop ?
On the Settings>Files tab designate the folder on your external that contains your files. My external has other folders for various, music stuff but one folder for all my Music.app files that is named simply MUSIC.
On that tab all other stuff is unchecked.
On my internal drive, in my user directory is a folder named Music that has my 'Music Library.musiclibrary' file in it.
