If you’re a Windows Media Center user, then you are have probably given up trying to remove the annoying Sample Photos, Sample Music and Sample Videos folders. It took me ages to find a way to find out how to remove them permanently from MCE, and the solution I found in the end was very simple.
All I had to do was delete the following folders to permanently delete the Sample Music, Sample Photos and Sample Videos folders:
- c:\users\public\public pictures\sample pictures
- c:\users\public\public videos\sample videos
- c:\users\public\public music\sample music
The change should be instantaneous.
I know this post is rather old but your solution is only a temporary one. Once you reboot the PC they will all be created again. I just want them gone forever.
Hi It does work – you just need to run ‘add to library’ in WMP if you have a big library for it to pickup the change
