[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1895270, member: 376394"] Only if you deleted the file from within the Music app. If you delete the file from Finder it will not remove the file from Music. And the app will then ask if you want to locate the missing file. The files may be different file types like mp3, wav, aiff, etc. If you convert a file to a different type, the app will still retain the original file as well as the converted file. Look for a setting to display file type in your song library. I use File > Library > Show Duplicate Items to identify duplicate items. Then I compare them, because songs from different albums may be different lengths so I would keep the different length songs. Then I click and hold command down and click any others and delete as needed. [/QUOTE]
