You won't get any kind of support to continue using your unsupported addon.
But you can go to video-files scroll to the source you want to remove, bring up the context menu [c] & remove source.
Add new source by selecting 'add source'

Same answer, it's all documented on the page Updating or removing videos (wiki). Use the "clean library" option.

Hi all, I have the same problem but a very strange one. The source is not there anymore, but the files keep living in the Library (I've been messing around too much before....). So I would need to do a "Hard Reset" of the Video Library. How can I do that?

Two ways. One is to follow this: phantom source (wiki).

The other is to just use the file manager (wiki) and go into the "Profile directory" -> Database -> and delete all of the "myvideos##.db" files. Then restart Kodi. That will completely reset the video DB.

I had a similar issue where I moved the location of my videos (family and music) therefore changed the paths in my Kodi shortcuts.

All was working and appeared well until I had a look in my kodi log, which was full of errors saying information could not be found regarding a video showing the old path and that it would not be added to the library.

Not being sure what the cause was I removed all my video source entries, cleaned my library, BUT still got all the errors reported in my kodi log.

So I deleted all my favourites and all my skin shortcuts thinking they may be the problem, BUT still got all the errors reported in my kodi log.

As you recommended I deleted my MyVideos99.db and all the errors in the log went away.

When I remove all my library video sources and cleaned my library, shouldn't that mean all my old references should be deleted from the kodi library database?

Now I need to re-add all my favourites and submenu options :-(

Thanks for your tip which worked a treat.
