Go to Settings > System > Music Library > Music Library Setup and remove the shared folder from the list.

Thanks for the quick reply.  Problem is, I cannot see the WDMyCloud folder in the Music Library setup.  I only see my //iMac/Music folders.

Are you still seeing music from the WDMyCloud in your music library? Have you updated the Music Index in the Sonos app?

I still see music from the WDMyCloud.  And I have updated the Music Index.  It is as if the WDMyCloud is cemented in place.

Have you checked if it happens to be listed under Settings > Services & Voice > Music & Content?

Yes, I have.  WD is not there.  I might have to delete Sonos and start all over again.  The source is there and the music is listed but no music will play, just an error (701).  This all started when Sonos indexed my music by artist, album, etc.

Try deleting and reinstalling the Sonos app and rebooting your router.

Thanks GuitarSuperstar, I’ll give it a try and see what happens.  By the way, my son is the best acoustic and electric guitar repairman in Wisconsin.

You should be able to go to Settings → Service & Voice and delete the MyCloud service.

Deleting and reinstalling Sonos does not work.  And there is no WDMyCloud in Service and Voice.  I believe I am going to have to set up a brand new account and go through the whole process adding my speakers and iTunes and Amazon music.  WDmyCloud is visible but not there to delete.
