Unknown Playlist

While searching for an answer in here, I stumbled upon another user facing the same problem, so I'll just paste his post.

The songs in the Playlist are not found, and I am unable to delete this playlist. I searched the Flash and SD memory for all m3u files, and there does not seem to be one that I can see that is associated with that entry. I even removed all Playlists from the device (NO m3u's), and this "Unknown" still shows. When I choose Delete, and Confirm, nothing happens. If I open it, select Edit, and try to give it a name, I get "Error saving Playlist". If I try to remove, add, or alter the songs within it, I get the same error as soon as I try to save the changes. Hate seeing it, but can't get rid of it. :-(

If anybody has the slightest idea of what's going on, I'd be extremely thankful!

Can you locate and delete the file using Ghost Commander on your BB10 device, also use Id3iot in BBWORLD to let it find the rogue playlist/songs.

Yeah, it sees nothing... and the songs aren't even on the device anymore.

Shameless self-bump

10 months later, it just happened again upon editing some ID3 tags, not with a playlist, but with some songs that aren't even on the device anymore. So, bump.

There's some files under /accounts/1000/db/sdcard_dbcache/ that could be causing this issue, but AFAIK, there's no way to get anything but read access on the filesystem. Hope someone prove's me wrong.

I have this issue with 8 phantom playlists. Did you ever get resolution?

Only thing that did it for me was backing up the files on the SD and then wiping them did it.

I too have this issue &have confirmed that it's coming from my SD Card. Other then that I've not been able to figure out how to delete it....kind of annoying
