How do I remove iTunes from video thumbnails that no longer exist?

Hi,

I want to remove all those thumbnails from my iTunes library (look at the screenshot).

None of them can be synchronized since I deleted all of those videos from any of my PC's folders.

How can I do so?

Thanks in advance.



Windows, Windows 10

3. From the list under Settings on the left side of the iTunes window, click the type of content that you want to sync or remove.* To turn syncing on for a content type, select the checkbox next to Sync.

Hi,

Nothing was deleted, I don't think you gave me a solution, you told me only to sync all those empty thumbnails and I did that of course, but nothing happened.

I'm working years with iTunes, I knew something was wrong with the explanations.

There is no section in the answer that said when the deletion will happen.

iTunes is not that sophisticated, by sync something that isn't actually on my pc it won't be deleted.

Ty.

Please anyone help?

Hi JJRASC,

None of the thumbnails are accessible with my other devices, I checked.

And I definitely don’t use iCloud with my iTunes library, I want to keep my music files safe from being deleted, and keep them private.

My iTunes at my Windows 11 is updated to the last version, was always updated because I do automatic updates.
