How do I Delete a song on My MP3?

Same Problem

Jun 24, 2008

-   I can't get a listing of the songs from the MP3 to my Media Player to delete them fromthe MP3 player. My son had previously filled the MP3 with his music from another computer. Now I am using the Media Player but can't read the files?
thanks-   tyralindell

if not all your songs are visible on computer screen, switch the SANSA (from settings mode on the device) from USB auto-detect to MTC, then plug it back in computer and all should be visible in AUDIBLE folder.

Plug in your sandisk into the usb driver, click on my computer you should see SANSA M230 (F:) right click on it, you should see format, click on format. And finally click on quick format, then start. That should do the trick. Note it erases all songs. Your welcome! :)

When you plug the USB Cable into the device, go to My COmputer. In your removeable devices it should say something to the effect of, Sansa. Right click this and open. It will open a folder containing all of your music. You can delete them from there.

It might be that you have to plug it in to your p.c and delete it in my computer as the mp3 player does not have a delete setting on there.

Plug it into a computer. Doesnt matter much if its a SanDisk player, as long as it has windows media player. On the bar there is Sync. Click there and on the right side of the screen there should be a red X, once the computer recognizes the device. Select the music/files you want to delete and click the X. Sometimes ive had to do it twice because it doesnt want to remove all the files at one time.

make sure your mp3 is plugged in, and your on windows media player. click on the sync tab, in the box that has what's on your mp3 (right half of the screen) click fm or music which eer you want to delete. if click on what you to delete from there. ( It's just trying to be specific on what song your deleting) then click the red "x" on the top right of the screen it should be under the head phones. for example if i wanted to delete "take me back" by Maggie's choice on Tale for Free i would click music, maggies choice, tale for free and finally the red "x". If you want to delet a whole album or all the songs by an artist just click the red "x" after you clicked the artist or album

if it is a sandisk then u should have musicmatch jukebox. Go to this programme and attach your mp3 to the computer with the usb cable.then click on the portable device manager in the bottom left corner. after you do this it will display all your songs. From here select the songs you want deleted and right click then select remove tracks and they are gone.

There should be a button that you can switch modes(equalizer, repeat, power save, backlight, colour, ect. If you scroll, there should be delete mode also. It might not work but try it anyway. You can also just plug it into the computer and delete it that way.

Hope it works.
