How to Delete an iTunes Library & Remove It From the Hard Drive
iTunes is a media player software from Apple which is used to synchronize PCs with Apple devices such as iPhones and iPods. If you would like to completely remove all the items in your iTunes library, and start your collection again, then you can perform most of this procedure within iTunes itself. You should ensure the files are also deleted from your hard disk. Leaving the files on the hard drive will take up space on your drive for something that you are not even using.
