I've had many previous versions of iTunes over many years and upgrade every time. Some very old Scripts still appear in the Scripts menu, although many of those listed do not have an associated script file in the Library/iTunes/Scripts folder? (see attached - such as _Google Lyric Search -or- Embed Artwork)
How can I remove the old (non-working) scripts from the menu in this scenario?
Thanks!
Yes. I empty the trash a few times a week. Usually before each Time Machine backup. Thanks for the suggestion!
These “dead” script menu items have survived across new OSes, across restored OSes, many iTunes updates and across new iMac hardware.
Another possible clue that just occurred to me. I keep my entire iTunes library on an external drive. I open the itl file that’s stored externally. (I happen to have a locally stored library, but never use it). Maybe there is a glitch with iTunes pointing to the scripts locally (Script folder) versus all the other iTunes files being external?
Thanks, have a great day.
Perhaps you have more than one scripts folder and you're removing files from the wrong one? I've just tried it using ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts and the scripts menu updates correctly as I delete things. It should be using the Library folder in your user profile rather than the system one.

I assume that after deleting the scripts you no longer use that you've emptied the trash? OS X can be good at maintaining links to files that have been moved or renamed within the same volume.

How do I delete iTunes Scripts when they're in the menu, but not in the Scripts folder?
