I cant delete music videos off my MacBook pro to free up space!!

I can see that I have 19 GB of space being taken up by music videos in iTunes. I can see the music videos when I click on the Music Videos tab and when I right click on a video and say I want to delete it my only option is to "hide" it which doesn't free up any space. I don't need or want these videos. How do I completely remove them from my computer/cloud/where ever I need to delete them from so I can get back that storage space?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

When you delete content from iTunes or Music it will only try to recycle content that is in the media folder. You can use right-click > Show in Finder to see where the files are stored, then delete manually after removing from the library. If you don't hide from your purchase history then you should be able to retain a cloud link that allows you to stream purchased items from the store or redownload on demand at a later point.
