It allows you to organize and play your digital music and video files, as well as purchase and download content from the iTunes Store.
However, if you’ve accumulated a lot of content in iTunes over the years, you may find that it’s starting to take up a significant amount of space on your computer. In this case, you may want to delete everything in iTunes to free up some space and start fresh.

- Once you’ve deleted all the content that you want to remove, go to the File menu in the top menu and choose “Library” followed by “Organize Library.”
- In the Organize Library window, check the box next to “Consolidate files.” This will move all the remaining media files in your iTunes library to the iTunes Media folder.

- Click on the “OK” button to save the changes.
By following these steps, you should be able to delete everything in iTunes and start fresh with a clean media library. Keep in mind that this process will permanently delete all the content from your iTunes library, so make sure you have backups of any important files before proceeding.
It’s also worth noting that deleting everything in iTunes will not delete any content that you’ve purchased from the iTunes Store. These items will still be available for download from your account. However, any locally stored copies of these items will be deleted as part of the process.
