Resolving Rekordbox Missing Files After Duplicate Cleanup
Last updated: 2026-04-13
After performing a duplicate cleanup in Rekordbox, many DJs encounter missing files that can disrupt their workflow. This issue often arises when the cleanup process inadvertently removes tracks that are still needed, leaving you scrambling to restore your library.
To resolve missing files in Rekordbox, start by checking your Rekordbox Preferences to ensure that your music folder paths are correctly set. If the paths are incorrect, Rekordbox won’t be able to locate your tracks.
Additionally, consider using tools like Dupes to manage your music library more efficiently. This tool helps you identify and manage duplicate tracks while ensuring that your essential files remain intact.
If files are still missing, you may need to manually relocate them or re-import them into Rekordbox. Regular backups can also save you time and effort when dealing with missing files.
