I have track numbers in front of some of my song names (not title) in my music libarary.  How do I get rid of them.  They are not in the "name" in WMP.  I try to right click and rename and that doesn't work.  I try going through properties into details and delete numbers in front of name, but it doesn't stay changed.  Tried to edit in WMP and that doesn't work.  Nothing I do permenantly changes the name (not title). 

Help!!!!!!

    Again - it won't cause the loss of any files - it's only WMP that's affected. I turned it off permanently in my W10 pc myself only a week or so ago... No music lost - it's quite safe.

    Ric.  If we uninstall wmp and re-install, how do i get my music back into wmp.  Can i backup all music onto flash and then put back into wmp?

    Hi - this is in WMP isn't it? So first you need to do a second 'Tools' - Advanced' - 'Restore media library'- hopefully most of the tracks you can't delete will no longer be there. If the problem persists we'll completely delete the WMP app/data and restart WMP.
