How do I exclude a folder from iTunes after it was automatically added?

How do I exclude a folder from iTunes after it was automatically added? I'm new to iTunes. I installed it and let it automatically scan my music. I didn't let it "consolidate" the media by using the iTunes directory because I have many tens of GBs and did not want to duplicate it (short on HD space in my laptop).

"You have two easy ways to do this

If you can easily find the tracks you want to remove in iTunes, just select them in iTunes and hit delete. This will remove them from itunes but not your hard drive (or at least prompt you with the option).
Delete every song in your library and then just manually re-add the ones you want to stay in there"
