Much to my dismay, Amarok defaulted to adding all audio files in my entire home folder to its local collection — without my permission.

The local collection is now full of uncurated garbage. How can I empty it?

Delete ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/mysqle, as suggested in the Amarok manual:

Database issues

If the database is corrupt and this is preventing Amarok from starting, you can move the database to a backup location (or simply delete it). This will cause Amarok to rebuild the database from scratch. Move the $HOME/.kde/share/apps/amarok/mysqle folder to a backup location (such as $HOME/.kde/share/apps/amarok/mysqle~) and restart Amarok.

  • I must have a really bad error since even deleting the database, it fails to start properly (error at startup, no songs in local collection, no songs appear performing a rescan). Suggestions?
