Fix Elisa persistant ghost list of songs and its playlist

Help
1

Using Dolphin, I deleted some folders containing long lists of songs, but when I open Elisa even if I click on “Scan for New Music” it keeps old songs in Tracks, Albums, Artists and Genres categories, only Files category reflects the correct changes, even if I click on “Clear All” to delete the old playlist it keeps reappearing upon each restart, I tried to remove all music folders then re-add them in Elisa setting but the old list of songs and it related playlist remains there. How can I solve it?

Elisa: 24.12.3
Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.12.19-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

Hi - just to check, have you tried the “Reset Database and Re-Scan Everything” option?

I feel stupid, it was there in the menu, but I searched inside settings but not found anything about how to do a complete reset.

After clicking on “Reset Database and Re-Scan Everything”, it shows empty songs, but after re-opening Elisa everything seems to be well synchronized for now.

Really thanks.
