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.
