What is the difference between delete from library and delete from album?
Deleting from the library means completely removing a media file from your entire collection. This means that the file will no longer appear in any of your albums or playlists. It’s like discarding the media file from your collection altogether.

This means that the file will still be available in your library and can be added to other albums or playlists if desired. Deleting from an album is useful if you want to remove a low-quality version of a media file from a specific album and replace it with a better version while keeping the original in your library.
