Hi @zorz,

This is probably due to an issue during the conversion process of your database file from the 3.5 version to Audirvāna Studio.

To remove such ghost files, the easiest way might be to move the AudirvanaPlusDatabaseV2.sqlite file to a temporary different location and remove the AudirvanaDatabase.sqlite file. After doing this reopen Audirvāna Studio and sync your tracks again, you should not have ghost files again.

To go to those files with the Finder:

  1. Open its Go menu.
  2. Pressing the option (or alt) key, and maintain it pressed. This reveals the Library command in this Go menu.
  3. Click on this Library command
  4. In the Finder window that opens, navigate into Application Support, then Audirvana
  5. You’ll find there the file AudirvanaDatabase.sqlite

Special Warning : When you delete the file AudirvanaDatabase.sqlite, you will lose all the Playlists you created in Audirvāna Studio.

However, you can back-up all those Playlists by going in the Local section of Audirvāna Studio.
