Hi
If I right click a file in Virtual DJ and select "File Operations > Delete", it deletes the file from the disk, but leaves it in the Virtual DJ database & I have to then manually research and remove it, otherwise it still appears in searches, is there a reason for this I can't see or is it possible to remove a file from the database when you delete it automatically.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that's not true overall - I've deleted a file as recently as today from the browser interface and the track did not show up in future searches (MacOS).
The track still resided in the database.xml when I checked, but a Clean Database removed it.

I do a remove from search DB then file delete if I want it permanently erased.
I think it's left in the DB in case you decide to use the same track again and all the previous info is still there.

Yes, when you delete a file from within VirtualDJ, VirtulDJ marks the file as missing and removes it from search results, but it does NOT remove it from the database completely. That's by design.
Main reason is that the info associated with this file may also be used elsewhere (e.g. in a history file)
