Delete a song from a playlist

Delete a song from a playlist: "When you remove a tune from the Library, iTunes doesn't always offer to delete the song's file from the hard disk. Here's why: iTunes has a default folder for the music it knows about. On the Mac, this folder is in your User directory at Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/, and on Windows, it's located inside My Documents at My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\. Not every song file in iTunes needs to be in this default folder. Any song file can be added to the iTunes Library, no matter what folder it's in. If it's in the default folder, iTunes assumes it owns the file, so it offers to delete the file when you remove it from the Library. If the file is not in the folder, iTunes figures it belongs to somebody else, so it shows good manners by not deleting it."

Help me help iTunes not to be stupid | Ask MetaFilter: "I forget where I read this - but here's a solution that worked for me (similiar to the initial link posted):

1 - backup the itunes xml and database files
2 - Do a find and replace in the iTunes xml file to update all of the song locations
3 - open the itunes database in a text editor, delete everything, and save. (simply deleting the database file does not work)
4 - open up itunes - it will rebuild the library file from the xml."
