Hi,
I have a simular problem,
I created a ring tone about a year ago using Garage Band.
it was my first time using that app. the tone is not good. So I want to
delete it. The problem is I know longer have the app installed. the tone
does not show in iTunes, but is in the ring tone section of my phone.
Since it does not show in iTunes, I cant figure out how to delete it.

I have never tried to get rid of anything of my phone by deleting it from the iTunes Media
subfolder where it is saved, but it would seem that deleting the item does not do the trick. The
normal way is to uncheck what you don't want, then sync which will remove it from the phone, then
if you are sure you never want to use this particular tone again, you could of course go ahead and
delete it from iTunes. Note that deleting the actual file from the folder will also not delete it
from the iTunes Library, it will simply result in a broken link since everything in your library
basically is nothing but a link to the locations where the item is stored. If after you delete a
song or tone from the folder where it is saved you try to play it in iTunes, it will flag it with
"Invald location" or "Invalid Path", not sure exactly what it says, but it is
something like that.
The best way to get rid of something permanently is to first unsync it from
your device, then delete it from within iTunes and when it asks if you want to
permanently delete it and send it to the recycle bin then say Yes to that and
iTunes will remove the item from the library and delete the actual physical
file.
Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: Deleting Custom Ring Tone
A friend asked me to figure out to remove a custom ring tone she had created and
installed. Seems that even though she removed the ring tone from the "Tones"
folder under iTunes, when she sync'ed the iPhone that particular ring tone was still on
her iPhone 6.
Does anybody have any idea what can be done to get rid of this unwanted ring tone --
remember it has been deleted from the "Tones" folder on her Mac but seems to
linger on her iPhone.
