I have an extensive collection of old radio show, which makes my itunes library upwards for 15000 tracks. I recently migrated to a new machine and in doing so, I created duplicates listing for each track. As I go through the tracks, iTunes can kindly add an explanation mark to those tracks that are moved and I can delete them manually. My issue is that I have to do this over 12k times at this point. Anyone have any ideas how to just ask itunes to delete any track that it thinks has moved or been renamed?

Note, this is not a standard duplicate track issue, but a double listing issue.

Or delete the library file and let iTunes recreate it.
