Move playlists that you normally keep closed to another directory, go to Managing Playlists, and specify their new location in the "Location" box.  There is no way to have AIMP automatically move a playlist elsewhere when the playlist is closed.

Whatfor? I do not need those playlists anymore. And it would not resolve the probleme that Aimp gets very slow / sluggish with too many plalists in that / a folder (that is why I want them to be removed) when it contains a number of about 300, 500, 1000 playlists.

You've asked about this before in the forum and received similar feedback: if you don't need a playlist anymore, why not just DELETE it from the folder?  You can delete the closed ones in one go from Managing Playlists.

I'm trying to figure out how you are ending up with hundreds of playlists you don't want:

In Preferences/Playlist/File Adding, in "General" and "Open files from external applications", is your default choice set to "Create New Playlist"?  If so, change that to "Add to Empty Playlist "Default".  This will keep one-off plays restricted to the "Default" playlist which you can clear as needed, and the only other playlists that exist will be the ones you deliberately create and save with their own name.  Of course, first delete all the old ones you don't want anymore.

You can even choose not to save the one-off "Default" playlist at all, if you set Preferences/Playlist/Saving to un-check "Save playlist Default."

It's thousands of playlists.

It is set like that:

So the only change is, that there will not stored a playlist anymore in that folder automatically.

OK, done like you said. Many thanks!

Yeah, what was killing you was that "when files are being opened "Create New Playlist" option--no wonder you kept ending up with thousands!  Change that to "Add to empty playlist default".  And like I mentioned above, you don't even need to save the "Default" playlist if you don't want.  Then the ONLY playlists being stored are ones that you deliberately choose to create, assemble, and name

Prost, and enjoy a fast AIMP!!

Many thanks! Prost! OK, fast might not be possible, but I will try to enjoy a none sluggish / slow AIMP.
