I do have this baby - and it rock! Nice OS, 200$, mp3 playback at the mid-range PMP device level and nice design is giving me faith to Nokia.

But today I had first issues with music library - I grabbed some album from inet, unpacked it - but it was flacky, so I removed it physically from Memory card - but it didn`t dropped down from Player, not allowing me to get rid from it, nor delete it from within the Player. Googling a little, I figured the way to make your Nokia (5530 in particular) to forcefully totally refresh the musical library. This instructions helped me - they could help you:

Manually remove deleted artists from Music Library
1. Connect your 5800 to you PC in Mass Storage Mode

2. On your PC you will need to have allowed to "Show" hidden files, do this from Explorer/Tools/ Folder Options/ View and select "Show hidden files and Folder"

3. Open your SD memory card/Removable Disk in My Computer on PC

4. Go to E:\ Private there you will see 3 folders 101f8857, 101ffca9 and 10281e17 . Shown below left.

5. Go to Private\101f8857\Cache\E there you will see .dat files. Delete all the .dat file BUT NOT the E Folder. 

6. Now go to Private\101ffca9 there you will see another .dat file, Delete the dat file NOT the folder. Shown below Left.

7. Finally go to Private\10281e17 There you should see 4 files 2 are Mp3 files other are Podcast files. Delete mpxv2_2.db & mpxv2_2.db-journal for Mp3 files list and Delete pcv6_1.db & pcv6_1.db-journal for Podcast files list. Shown above right

8. Close all windows and disconnect your Phone. Go to Music Library and it should automatically start a refresh.
