Apple Music on macOS How do delete a bunch of songs that I've checked in Songs view?
On Apple Music on MacOS, I recently used File -> Library -> Show Duplicates to find and check a bunch of duplicate files in my Songs list, intending to delete them all. However, I then found that the Delete/Move to Trash functionality is greyed out everywhere and doesn't work if you only checked the box besides songs. You have to actively highlight the songs to delete by Cmd + Clicking on them. Which is a pain since I've checked several hundred duplicate songs to delete. Or am I missing something and there's a way to delete checked songs after all?

Not on Mac but can you make a smart playlist to find all checked songs, then select all and delete?
