Rather than deleting the file, you need to rename the folder those files
are in. Apparently, and I am only guessing from the behavior, WMP decides
you have a library just by the existence of the folder. It seems pretty
flawed to me, but it really does do better if you rename the folder rather
than just delete the contents of the folder.
Hopefully, that will let you start adding your music again.
