Remove movie from iTunes *and* disk

Hi,
I add movies to iTunes which are stored on a network drive, and are not stored in the iTunes library.
When I remove these from iTunes, it does not trash the file on the disk.
Is there a simple way to remove the movie from iTunes, and trash the file, all in one go?
At the moment I do the following:
- ctrl-click
- show in finder
- trash file
- remove movie from iTunes
This is a tedious process, especially when I want to get rid of multiple movies.
I could probably write a script to do what I want, but surely there's a way built into iTunes, and I just haven't found it yet.

Beat you to it, but I'll give you credit anyway.
For anyone else who's interested, this script seems to do the trick:

It's a bit slow though, and has too many dialogs for my liking, so I may edit it, to see if I can speed things up a bit.
Edit: this script seems a bit quicker:

  • Remove songs from itunes and disk drive

    i have a bunch of songs that i rated as 1 star and now i would like to completely remove it from my itunes Music library AND from my hard disk. i read somewhere here that you can just simply 'delete' the song from the Music library and it will also remove the song from the physical location or it would ask you if you want to remove it from the physical location.. that didn't happen when i tried it. anyone know of another way?

    Do you keep your songs in the iTunes Music folder or do you use another folder of your own making? iTunes will delete songs from the library and move them to Trash (Recycle Bin) only if they are in the iTunes Music folder. (iTunes will ask if you want to trash the file if this is the case, it doesn't trash it automatically). If your songs are kept outside of this folder then deleting only removes the reference to the song from the library and you have to go to the folder they are located in to trash the file itself:

  • I rented a movie from iTunes and it is on my IPad.  I wanted to watch it on AppleTV and there is no airplay icon showing up on the movie

    I rented a movie from ITunes and it is on my IPad.  I wanted to watch it on Apple TV however there is no airplay ap showing up.  What should I do

    That won't be possible. You can only view a rental on the device used to do so, unless it is done via computer (in which case you can stream using home sharing)

    help please!

    Are you going to Movies - Purchased or Computers - Movies ?
    If you go to iTunes Store  on your computer - Quicklinks - Purchased. Is it showing up there?
    Is this a purchase or a rental?

    She must have signed into her own Apple ID on your iPad in order to sync her content from iTunes so try this and see if it works.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. See if your ID is showing in there and if it isn't - tap on her ID, sign out and then sign in with yours.
    You should not be syncing to to different iTunes libraries. The iPad can only sync with one iTunes library without erasing the the content on it if you decide to sync to another iTunes library.

  • Hi! I'm from Brazil and I'm having troubles with subtitles. Watching movies from iTunes and Netflix, the subtitles shows yellow, too small and into gray boxes! I'm having this kind of trouble with my iPad also.

    Solution found.
    I am a Vodafone customer and installed the Vodafone app which asks you to turn off wifi connection on installation as it needs to communicate with their servers over 3G.
    After restoring the iPad via iTunes this is the only app that I did nor re-install and seems to be too much of coincidence that while in full screen view watching films my wifi is switched off and 3G data connection is established 10 - 15 minutes into a fiilm and my data allowance gets eaten up!
    I would also get push notifications from Vodafone saying "my daily data usage was almost used" with this app installed.
    Have tested and on 3rd time watching sky go still wifi is on after 30 mins.
    DO NOT INSTALL VODAFONE APP FROM THE APP STORE.

  • HT204370 the volume is very low on downloaded movies from itunes, and my volume is turned up all the way, and my volume is fine all other times???

    My volume is very low when I download a movie from itunes, and my sound is turn all the way up.  The volume works fine on everything else.  It's really hard to even watch the movie and enjoy it.  Why is this happening?

    Morning Al My issue has since been resolved after some advice from a friend. It was simple, push the optical cables in firmly until they click, however mine didnt click but there was definatley room for them to be pushed in further as if they are loose they "leak".  in addition to this on the TV settings, make sure that the TV speakers are turned off

    when the name of the ipad appears in ur itunes click on it. then click on the movies tab that appears next to summary. this is where u need to go to select what movies u want to actually sync to the ipad. if u keep movies selected then they will keep syncing over. if u unselect a movie from this list then it will unsync from the device. click apply at the bottom to save changes and sync.

  • I rented a movie from iTunes and now it's not working

    I rented a movie from iTunes on my iPad and it started downloading.  For some reason it stopped.  The movie is showing up in the video app but when I hit play or the download cloud it tells me I have rented the movie but have not downloaded it.  I go back to iTunes and the download section is gone.  I go back to the movie, where you can buy or rent, and it says watch....which if clicked on takes me back to videos.  And then it again tells me I have rented the movie but have not downloaded it and to go to Downloads to manage my downloads.  THERE IS NO DOWNLOAD SECTION OR OPTION IN ITUNES....IT IS GONE!!  I have closed iTunes and restarted my iPad several times and am still having the same issue.  I have rented movies in the past with no issues.  I have NO IDEA what is going on and am very very frustrated.  Hopefully someone can help.
    Thanks!!

    I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
    Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

  • HT1725 I have rented ten movies from iTunes and they claim to have been downloaded but they all seems not to have been downloaded properly because they all stop after playing for just a minute or two. What do I do?

    I have rented ten movies from iTunes store and to my chargin they don't play on my iPad after it indicates it's been already downloaded. This has happened to me a couple of times and I just ignore it and rerent the movies. But now it's all the eight movies I rented and two tv shows, one of which I bought a seasons ticket. What can I do to be able to watch these movies or get iTunes to credit back my account. Thank

    Does this happen quite often?
