Ubuntu: Rhythmbox: clear out library

After importing some folders I wanted to clear out some entries, and reimport. I am sure there should be an option to do this in the GUI but it appears there is not.

Library management is pretty poor in my opinion.

Anyway to do this I had to delete the following file, and restart rhythmbox. 

~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml 

~ is linux shorthand for your user folder /home/ /home//.local/share/rhythmbox/ 


This works for ubuntu 11.04 and Rhythmbox 0.13.3.  It has been known for them to keep moving the the file around, so if you have a different version this may be in a different location. The file should be the same so you should be able to search for it.
