Greetings and Salutations!!! Hope someone can help. I can't seem to run clean on my music database. When I try in settings, it asks if i want to; I say YES, and a line drops down and disappear immediately. It's almost like it doesn't find the database or can't access it. Any assistance or suggestions on what my next step should be? Should I delete MyMusic82.db and relaunch? Will I have to re-add my music, or will it recreate the db automatically?
Thanks in Advance!

How many music files do you have? Can you play music? Computers run very fast and can do 1,000's of operations per sec. Maybe it's cleaning the database before you can see it on-screen? Maybe there's no errors to clean?
If you still think there's something wrong, you could grab a copy of Kodi's logs and upload them here. How to do that is beyond my expertise!

There's too many variables to compare my music database to yours but, just for fun, I have 70,000 songs and it took 10-12 minutes for Kodi to clean the database. I ran the operation twice.

I'm assuming "delete artist" means remove all song files with that artist in any role. Debug log capturing an attempted clean would be a start. As an aside, for my part when removing song files from a source I always run "update" not "clean".
