I did look into that recently. I trigger the rescan when that happens and, tracing through the SqueezeCenter code, it looks as though removed files are supposed to be removed from the database if they can't be found during that rescan. However, the files aren't actually removed, which I think might be a bug.
I think there's a couple of known enhancement request in this area: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3928 http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5158 When I get some time I might try tracing through bit more thoroughly to try to understand what's going on. Like I said, I *think* it's supposed to work already judging by the code I found. Given the complexities of the database I think it would be quite messy for a plugin such as mine to start removing data from the database so I think I'm reliant on the core SqueezeCenter functionality to do that, unfortunately.
