@Albranov
Do you still have songs linked under the incorrectly spelled artist name? If not, Clean Library should detect and remove those orphaned artists.

Open a trac ticket with the details. I understand why Clean Library isn't working. It's recursive. It first cleans up the songs. Then it looks for orphaned albums with no songs linked. It then looks for orphaned artists that have no songs OR albums linked. Your incorrect "ARTIST" is linked to a valid album entry so its not removed.
You're going to have to force all the songs to be removed and rescan. You can delete the source, and Xbmc will ask if you want to remove the LIbrary items. Say yes. Then add the source back and scan. Or if you can target the exact folders where the incorrectly tagged file where located and change the folder name, it'll correct itself on an update.

I'm not sure how an Album can stay linked to an incorrect artist - the album artists are after all derived from the song tags. Assuming the song tags were updated, then the album would have been removed, and thus the artist would also be removed.
What am I missing?

I personally tag Live as a genre.

Just wanted to touch base and say thanks kraqh3d for the help. The issue was related to the ENSEMBLE tag. Resolution was to wipe all the tags from each file and then re-tag accordingly.

I am having a very similar issue... All my AC/DC albums have duplicate Albums in library mode. Each set of duplicate albums has AC-DC and AC/DC for artists. I have removed all tags and then manually added tags. I've cleaned the library and then updated it. I have gone as far as deleting the music database. I also checked for other tags such as ENSEMBLE as this thread suggested previous.
At this time I am unable to resolve this issue. Any suggestions would be great.
