SAM category is not a Windows directory. Ergo deleting the song from a Sam category does not remove the song from your hard drive/directory. Therefor if your playlist draws from a Windows directory and not a Sam category, you end up putting the file back into Sam as Sam automatically adds any file that it can't find in it's DB. There is a way in Sam to completely remove a file and that is that last option found after you right click on any given file. That will not only remove it from a Sam category but also delete it from your hard drive. After questioning you if you really want to remove the file from your hard drive. I don't think that is what you want.
Sam categories are not Windows directories. Hopefully I understood your question this time. Allen Rehmann
