Windows 10: How do I remove songs from the media library in Media Player with Windows 11?

I've read answers to this question elsewhere here and all I've found is "It can't be done". For whatever reason, Microsoft has locked up the threads, so I couldn't put this solution in those threads. Actually, there is a way, but it's a royal pain. Go to the album you want to edit, right click on the song you want to delete and click on "Edit Info". Go to each field that is populated and click on the faint "X" @ the right side of that field. Repeat this process until all info about that song is blank, then back out completely and re-enter the album you just edited. If you've done all of

wma files in Explorer, don't show in Windows Media Player Library

Upgraded from 64-bit Win 7 pro to Win 10 v1607 build 14393.693.
.wma files associated with windows media player 11 (32 bit?).
Files show in Windows Explorer under users\[username]\Music.
User has full rights to folder and subs
In Windows Explorer, doubleclicking file plays any song using Windows Media Player.
But launching Windows Media Player, and opening Library shows only one song.
In Explorer, the song's artist is 6th in a long list and that album has 10 songs.

Have tried removing the library and re-adding it. No luck.

Thanks in advance!

Windows Media Player 11 in June

Although we have to wait for the new Microsoft Vista OS, new version of Windows Media Player 11 will be available before the end of June. The XP version won't have all the features of its Vista successor, but the company won't say which features will be excluded. I guess we have to wait for a public test version and see what's included. With the new media player, consumers will be able to "reverse sync," meaning they can send content from a digital device to a PC. Another change is the ability to alter protected music and video files to change their quality level. With the new software, protected Windows Media files can be converted to smaller file sizes for playback on mobile devices. The biggest no go is that Windows Media Player 11 won't allow conversion of purchased Windows Media Songs into Apple iPods. So songs bought from a Windows Media store still won't play on the iPod.
