deleting songs saved to garageband

You can't "Save a song to GarageBand", Garageband doesn't store anything, the files are saved somewhere on your Hard Drive(s). You delete them like you delete any other file, you search for it in Finder and drag it to the trash.

I'm going to take a guess that you're looking at the "Open Recent" menu. Those are not the files, that's just a list of files you've opened. You have to locate your files in Finder and drag them to the trash.

If your sense of organization requires that the list be emptied (it takes up no room on your hard drive) then just pick the "Clean Menu" menuItem. --Hang

I had the same problem but I finally figured out how to delete the files. Just tried it with two songs I have been trying to delete and it worked!
The GB song files are located in the folder Garage Band. The song files end in the extension ".band". I used spotlight and searched for ".band". They were under the heading documents - you can click on spotlight again to bring up the full screen with all the files. I then held down the control key and clicked on the song file name I was trying to delete (e.g. Test song.band). While holding down the control key and clicking with the mouse a drop down menu appears. Click on "Reveal in Finder". (You can also use Finder to find the Garage Band folder). This will take you to the actual song file in the Garage Band folder. The file will be highlighted and you can simply drag and drop into Trash. Or you can use the control key and click the mouse to bring up a drop down menu and then click on "Move to Trash".
I'm glad you asked because I was loading up my iMac with GB songs that I wanted to delete. When I read your post and decided to experiment and - success! Try it and let me know if this solves your problem.

do a search in spotlight using ".band" that should show you where songs made from GB are located.

i believe they will be placed, by default, in your "music" file on the left side of your finder window.

There was a bug in OS 9 where files dragged onto a package would disappear into the package. To my knowledge, no such problem exists in X.

Packages? In OS 9?

Appleworks and iView Multimedia are two apps on my machine that use the package method in 9.
