Not sure if this is the correct place to post this? (Please move if not) I'm using Kodi on a Nvidia Shield, using Aeon MQ 8 skin.
I was using Emby as my music video source but have changed to using a node in Kodi and have removed the emby link in the emby for kodi addon. All fine, except a couple of videos are still pointing to emby, although these are dead links. Is there any way of cleaning this up without completely reinstalling Kodi?

Is it possible to do this does anybody know? Can you delete a database and then Kodi will rebuild it?

I've never used Emby, so I don't really know what it does or how it integrates.
Where are you seeing the dead links?

Yes, if you delete it, Kodi will rebuild it. You can also simply rename it so that if, for some reason, you want to restore it you can rename it back.

Hi,
My fault. I thought I'd removed the emby music video

Hi,
My fault. I though I'd removed the Music Video library in emby for Kodi, but I hadn't.
Emby aside, is there a time delay in Kodi for refreshing a database? I've changed a couple of nfo files and kodi is still showing the old version when I reopen it ( I have update library on startup switched on)

Thanks Jeff,
Out of interest. How are the databases named and where do I find them?

Kodi never refreshes databases automatically.
If you change an nfo file, then you need to Refresh the movie. Or delete the movie and scan it back in.
