Is there a way to refresh iTunes match, to delete all information and start from scratch?

Hi,

Option 1 is to select all tracks, ctrl click then select delete. Check delete from the cloud in first box then select keep file in next. This will clear your library. Suggest that you don't delete previous purchases. Once you have done this you can now readd the tracks that you want to keep in your iTunes library.


Option 2 is to create a new iTunes library. iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one Turn on match and select add this computer. You will now see all the music that you have in Match. You can delete non iTunes purchases - this will delete them from the cloud but not your computer - they will still appear in your original iTunes library. When you go back to your original library, all your music will still be there but the iCloud status will show as "removed". To see iCloud status in song view, go to menu > view > view options and tick box. You can now select the tracks you want to read to the cloud - select tracks > ctrl click > select "add to ICloud".


Please let me know if you have any queries.


Jim
