Where to find removed songs

When I right click on a song the first option that comes up is "Remove Download" so I have accidentally deleted many songs. How do I get them back I cannot find them in purchased. I paid for these.

Iwan,

If they were purchased in the past, the file may still be on your hard drive (possibly in the Trash/Recycle) or in one of the backups you have made.


Also, if you are still using the same Apple ID, are in the same country, and the content is still available, you may be able to redownload fresh copies at no charge. Follow the steps in here:
