Having that said, Metadata Utility does have two Features that allows you to delete certain data. Those features are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Delete &#8216;Orphan Records&#8217; from Metadata Utility (Movies are NOT part of your Windows Media Center Library. Those &#8216;Orphaned Records&#8217; represent records that are found in Metadata Utility but you don&#8217;t have those Movies in your Windows Media Center Library). In other words, using this feature, you are NOT deleting Movies from your Windows Media Center Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Delete &#8216;Windows Media Center Cache&#8217;. This feature would allow you to &#8216;reset&#8217; by deleting your Windows Media Center XML Files from your Local Profile in your Computer. This feature cannot delete your Movies that you have in your Windows Media Center Library. If you use this feature, you would end up having your Windows Media Center Library look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/metadatautility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/0.2-1024x603.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metadatautility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/0.2-1024x603.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metadatautility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/0.2-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metadatautility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/0.2-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metadatautility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/0.2-780x459.jpg 780w, https:\/\/metadatautility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/0.2-600x353.jpg 600w, https:\/\/metadatautility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/0.2.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Windows Media Center Default Library without ArtWork or Media Metadata Information<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That said however, if you have any Metadata Utility Version after 2010 AND you are using the current Coverart Naming conventions as defined in our documentation, then, even if you delete all your Windows Media Center Profile Cache from your Local Profile, you will still be able to see the Coverart in Windows Media Center.
