Usually if you try to play a series of tracks that don't exist, WMP will
ask if it should start doing some housekeeping of those folders. I don't
know of any other way for it to prune the collection automatically: it
tracks media files *moved* in the file-system, but not deletions.

Thanks to Mike. The system did prompt me to remove missing files after a few
tries at opening them.
