When i plug my coby mp715 into my computer and open "my computer" it shows up only as a "removable F-file" and i can't open it

I believe you need to connect you MP3 player to Computer using USB. Then only you can delete your songs. Many MP3 players does not allow you delete songs or any media when they are operated. :)

You can reformat it by first resetting it then plugging it into your computer. The method of doing this on a PC is to right click the mp3 player under (My) Computer and then choosing reformat... Make sure you backup all your music and the system files first. Good luck!

Compatible formats include; mp3, wma, ogg. avi,wmv, flv, rm, rmvb. jpg, bmp, gif
