The manual is fraught with errors on the deleting music page - including the fact that it references p.24, when the answer is on p.23 - but it suggests that you can only delete songs from the player itself or from Windows Explorer:
Delete Song
1. In playback mode, press submenu.
2. Select the Delete Song item.

or p.32 for delteing from Windows Explorer

I can think of at least 2 other reasons why you are not able to delete the songs as normal in Windows Media Player:

The following is an EXTREME solution that I would not reccomend:

Short version:
To resolve this problem, clear the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Exit Windows Media Player. 2. For Windows XP:

Click Start, click Run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

For Windows Vista:

Click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK. 3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click Delete on the File menu.

Note You do not have to delete the folders that are in this folder. 4. Restart Windows Media Player.

Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

Use Windows Media Player to delete the songs. Connect your GoGear to the computer. Open Windows Media Player. Find the icon of the GoGear on the left-hand side. Click on the songs folder. Highlight the song you want to delete and press "delete" on your computer's keyboard. Then go to the videos folder and do the same.

If you want to delete all of the songs and start over, reformat the player in Windows Media Player.
