The buttons read Cancel, Keep File, and Move

to Trash. Apple is hedging its bets:

• If one or more files are in the iTunes Media folder,
  then clicking Move to Trash will both remove the
  listing from the iTunes library and move the items
  tothesystemTrash.


• If one or more files is referenced by iTunes,
  clicking Move to Trash only removes the listing
  from iTunes. The file remains in place.

The difference between Cancel and Keep File

is that Cancel stops everything, while Keep File

doesn’t touch a file if it’s in the iTunes Media folder,

but does remove the listing from iTunes.

If you have iCloud Music Library enabled and the

file has been uploaded to iCloud, iTunes displays a

different message which warns about deleting the

audio file or files from every linked device.

name] can’t be installed on [device] because [OS

X/macOS] version 10.[X] or later is required’.

This situation occurs when you’re running an

older version of macOS than the minimum required
