I created a smart playlist and these podcasts that have been deleted from my library and that do not show up in the podcasts section are in the smart playlist and i can not find them in itunes or delete them.

Are they in path above? Do they play fine in Smart Playlist?

Delete them from the smart list too, then they should be gone forever

thats the problem i can't delete them because they are in a smart playlist, and i can't find them in the library because they don't appear in the search.

What happens if you select one of the podcasts and press CMD-R for "Reveal in Finder"?

Reviving an old thread.....

I've got the same problem as the OP. Podcasts show up in a smart playlist I created to find errors with my iTunes match. Podcasts only show in the smart playlist, not anywhere else in my library. Unable to delete them (because it's a smart playlist), and yet unable to locate them anywhere.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Eureka! You can delete a file from your library even when you're doing it THROUGH a playlist by pressing alt/option and delete on the Mac.

I'm sure glad THAT was published somewhere. Honestly. Apple can be so frustrating sometimes.

Found the answer with some further searching 🙂
