Can't delete files off of my sandisk m240

My sandisk m240 can be played normally, but when I try to see or delete my music on it, the files are missing. Plus, when I add music to my m240, the files aren't added to the music folder like they used to be, they are just put on the main folder of the player. I would like to atleast reset the player, but I don't know how. If you know how to reset the sandisk m240, or, if you know a better way to solve my problem, please tell me.

I can help with the reset problem. You have to format your player by right clicking on the Sansa icon. This will erase all your files, so back them up if you wish to keep them. The folder stucture on the Sansa is not very logical and I still haven't figured it out. I have had my player almost 2 months now. hope this helps. J

None of these solutions have helped me what so ever they give no detail about what the there talking about and the people who wrote them should give up life. PS. Thanks for absolutely nothing.

I'm having the same problem. Somehow some whole file of music is permanantly embedded in there that you can fill on top of, and if you look in the mp3 it will show enpty when you perform the right click dump. There is a sansa updater to try. In my case, the actual disc was loaded into another pc but not this one. Therefore it worked fine w/media player but not to the extent of dumping the files loaded from the original machine. That's two solutions. Download the updater from them w/your sandisk connected or reload the original disc into the player. This solved my problem.

Sandisk 240 1.0 gb

I had this same problem. What I ended up doing was going into My Computer into the device itself and seeing what showed up. It appears a few new songs I popped on there the day after were appearing but nothing else. I deleted all the files, unplugged it from the computer and let the library update, old songs were still playing. Plugged it back into the machine and voila they showed up.

Sandisk sansa m240 mp3 player

You can connect the device to your computer and manage it thru "My Computer. Open My Computer, then open the device (i.e. Sansa m240). Inside there is a Music folder, you can delete them from here. You can also drag songs here to transfer to the player. If you are not able to see the "music" folder, you may need to enable "Hidden Files and Folders" on your computer. Best of Luck.
