I don't want to keep every music file I own on my computer and my Zune, that's why I bought the Zune, to store and play music. When ever I delete a file from my library my Zune deletes it as well. How do I delete old albums and files to make room for new ones but leave the old ones on my Zune? Does anyone know?

Reason is that you have to manually remove files from the Zune, so in theory it shouldn't remove files from the Zune unless you do it. No guarantees though.

Sorry about the crappy visual aid but here it is

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? I've tried everything I can think of, but it still deletes it from my Zune when I take it out of my collection. This is terrible and confusing. Any suggestions from anyone?
