Total in a ListView

In the code below I have a Total variable that calculates a total from items in a listview. My problems is when items are deleted the total isn't calculated properly. It seems the total gets changed during deletion by removing the top item off the listview and I am looking to delete the item of the selected index in the listView. So If i add 3 items of (in price) 2.00 3.00 and 5.00 and delete the 3.00 it should return 7.00 while now it returns 5.00. I am not sure how to correct this so any help would be great thanks.

private void btnAddToReceipt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (listView1.SelectedItems.Count > 0)
            {
                
                foreach (ListViewItem item in listView1.SelectedItems)
                {
                    ListViewItem newItem = (ListViewItem)item.Clone();
                    listView2.Items.Add(newItem);
                    txtTotal.Refresh();
                    currentTotal = ((MemberBook)newItem.Tag).Price;
                }
                total = total + currentTotal;
                txtTotal.Text = "$ "  + total.ToString();
            }
        }
        
        private void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (listView2.SelectedItems.Count > 0)
            {
                for (int i = listView2.SelectedItems.Count; i > 0; i--)
                {
                    listView2.Items.Remove(listView2.SelectedItems[i - 1]);
                    
                    //total = total - currentTotal;
                    //txtTotal.Text = "$ " + total.ToString();
                }
                total = total - currentTotal;
                txtTotal.Text = "$ " + total.ToString();
            }
        }

Hi, just use this code when you want to recalculate the total:

private void CalculateTotal()
{
    decimal total = 0;
    foreach (ListViewItem item in listView1.Items)
    {
        total += ((MemberBook)item.Tag).Price;
    }
    txtTotal.Text = total.ToString("C");
}
