so far no luck here. I've downloaded 2 additional spyware, virus detectors and have gotten no hits. I haven't found a way to delete the file shown in the library and since it's named I can't find it by searching by title. Anyone had any better luck?

You should be able to delete files directly from Limewire's library. Right-click and select delete. (If you have the newest version of LW, it will send it to the recycle bin, I believe).

If a file won't delete that way, select the file in the LW library and click 'Explore' in the bottom left of the screen. This will open the folder that contains the file in question.

If the file doesn't want to be deleted, this program may help: DelinvFile

Hope this helps

i tried saving to a different folder, everything is cool until you restart your computer or limewire...just downloaded about 300 songs yesterday, restarted my computer, and they are all .exe files now

Whenever i copy the files over to iTunes, and then delete the file from Limewire, it says it can not play because it cant find original file.. So i have doubles of every song on my computer and its just eating space up. What can i do?

You don't really 'copy songs to iTunes'...if you drag and drop your files to iTunes, all it does is tell iTunes where to find those files.

Now for the bad news...unless you have the new beta version (4.13.x)...
deleting files from the LW library will delete them right off of your computer! Don't do this...here's a link that may help:

Deleting files from LW library - DON'T!

Good Luck

My friend does exactly the same thing and it works for her,she doesnt know why i cant do it. She has no songs on Limewire and just copied them over to iTunes, it works. I even have a newer computer. The only thing i see that your saying is that she might have a older version of Limewire that works, like the 4.12.x you told me about. Thats the only thing that might be different? Its very frustrating because i have over a year worth of music listening downloaded.
