I have done much arranging of my files to different folders lately, now the problem I'm left with is hundred of pink (missing) files. Is there a way for me to delete all the pink files with serato at one time or do I have to go through and manually delete each pink file one by one?

If you have all your tracks in pink, Click on the 1st and last file in pink and click on shift at the same time. It should highlight all of them. DELETE EM ALL.

You can organize the library by the icon column. This will group them all together.
Then click the first one, scroll to the bottom of the pink files, hold shift and click again. This should highlight them all.

With that being said my protect library is unchecked and when I go to delete by pressing control-delete it won't delete

The ones that won't delete in the icon box has a cd with a question mark in the center also if that helps

That's because they are being read by iTunes. You can't delete iTunes files in serato. You need to remove them from iTunes then they won't show up anymore in serato when you open your iTunes library

Yes, all of the above is great and everything but even when I've deleted from iTunes and done everything, I still show 2Pac songs in Serato that are no where to be found in my iTunes.

I did but it still cant find them, I backed my computer up to a external and then deleted a bunch of files from frostwire to save space on the internal harddrive

Just erase the missing files and drop them back in from the external

Ok....I have serato 1.8.1 running on a mac book pro with El capitan. When I delete files from my iTunes, they still show in my serato library as orange with the iTunes icon and lightning bolt. Neither control + delete nor shift + control + delete removes the track from my serato library. How do I remove these tracks??

I would also like to know this, I have files showing in SDJ that are orange and I can't find a way to get rid of them, I can't find the same files in iTunes because they have already been deleted.
Im pretty OCD about this, those orange files really annoy me lol...

Try control + alt+ delete. This works for me with files I delete in iTunes then open serato and the files have a ?.
