I somewhat have the same problem also....

The problem is like, When I plug my MP3 (YP-S3 JAB) onto the computer, Most of the files are missing, and almost all of the files present are doubled. I can't seem to delete (manually) any of them.

Also, When I delete using the MP3 itself, It freezes and doesn't delete anything after about a long time, and when it deletes something, the device lags...

Anyone have a solution so far? I noticed most of the solutions aren't helpful

You stated "I deleted all the folders in Windows Media Player, yet when I turn on my mp3 the songs are still there." I never use Media Player or any other program to load my M240. When it is plugged into the USB I can go to My Computer and access all data on the player. I usually just copy and paste or delete stuff from there. I do not listen to music on it very often but do load and delete other MP3 material with no problems. Try doing it this way.

Somewhere on this webstite it tells you how to delete songs when your MP3 has no setting on itself to do so. Like it says, you might need to repeat the procsess a couple of times beacuse the computer will not want to delete all of the songs at once.

Cant delete fies from my player

I know that the manual says to use Windows Explorer, but you can use Windows Media Player instead (it is safer). Before I go into those instructions, you can still use Windows Explorer to delete as long as the songs are not makred as read-only - to check for this, right-click a song you want to delete, and see if the Read-Only box is checked under Properties. If it is not checked or you can't see your files in the first place - go to Tools --> Folder Options --> View --> check Show Hidden Files and Folders.

How can i delete unwanted songs from the player

You can use Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer -whichever you prefer. If you use Windows Explorer, make sure that you only delete music files - if you delete any system files or the Music folder itself, your mp3 player will become unusable.

Deleting files

You have to plug the mp3 player into the computer, double-click My Computer, double click on the icon of the GoGear, and then go into the Music folder - exercise caution: only delete music files - if you delete files that are non-music files, you will effectively destroy your GoGear.

Windows Media Player is more complex, but it is a safer way to delete songs:
