[OPEN] Deleting entire collection and retaining Cue Points, beat grids, etc.?

Long story short, I deleted a bunch of songs from my iTunes library but they're still in my Rekordbox collection. If i delete my entire collection and then just import all my songs from iTunes again will i lose any of my Hot Cues or key analysis's? will i have to analyse every song again? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!! will i have to fix every single off beat beat grid again! 

Thanks in advance

Bryn

It's quite simple -- if you have used the iTunes sync feature, running it again will remove the tracks you had removed from iTunes, thus dumping the "ghosts."

Please keep the language family-friendly.

Okay, for anyone that sees this. if you delete a track from Rekordbox and then re-import it will not keep and beat grids or data. making it impossible to delete your entire collection and re-import the songs you want without having to fix all of the horrible beat grids again. Unless there is some way of keeping that data that I don't know of

@bryn > Correct; deleting a track from the collection deletes the corresponding database entries and waveform / beatgrids / hot cues / memory points / artwork.

Can I ask what it is you're trying to accomplish? Maybe there's a better way of getting from A to B.

I have lots and lots of tracks that I have deleted from iTunes that are still in rekordbox. I want to delete everything then re-import the songs I want without losing the beat grids and info
