When I received my Sansa e260 MP3 player it had some presumably demo tracks by unknown artists which I would like to delete. Unfortunately, I only discovered them once I downloaded my own tracks from my computer.

When you plug the device into your computer just look at it with the file manager. If you can't see the media files, make certain you have selected in windows "show all files". You need to see the hidden files, including operating files. Be very careful only to delete files that you think are the corrupted media files.
If you are on windows 7 you can look at my blog site which will explain how you can select the options to view all files.
It's under the section about windows media player art problems.

Your DB might be corrupt. Folow the delete procedure one more time:
Delete Music Files
1) Connect your Sansa to the computer.
2) Select Open device to view files using Windows Explorer on initial
connection.
3) Select the place where you want to delete music files from
4) Highlight and delete the music file/s or folder from My Computer\Sansa
e200\...\MUSIC folder. (You can also select from a variety of music
software programs to transfer/synchronize your files).
If that fails, go ahead and update the firmware - it will delete everything, and allow you to start over from scratch among other things.
To delete songs from your device follow the steps below You have to make sure that the device is on MSC mode...then make sure your device is plug in to the computer..Then go to programs - accesories - windows explorer, find the SanDisk in my computer, go to media, music and delete them from there. Either under sync panel in your windowsmedia player it will show your music when it's connected. just click the plus signs for what song you need to get rid of, right click and click delete. To format it..on your device..go under..menu, setting and there should be a format option option there..let me know if that doenst work for you... Hope this helps
P.S.Please rate accordingly... Thank You Computerrep
omg! i have the same problem and its so annyoying. so i just formated it and added my songs back its a major pain in the ass but it worked, but now having limewire made my sansa all maessed up and i cant fix it :(
Thats probably the best idea to erase everything and start anew.
You can format the device in My Computer>Device Name (e250)>Right Click on it and select Format.
This will erase everything on your device.
If you are getting Bad Track from just a few songs, just delete them as they may be corrupt.
Also, you need to keep some free space on the device to create the database. Keep at least 6MB free for every GB.
Best of Luck.
Where is the music coming from?
If you have lots of Bad Tracks errors, the music is usually encoded incorrectly and the device does not know how to decipher it.
If the device still connects to the Computer, try to format it. My Computer, Right click on Device name (e200) and select format.
I would also update the firmware. It is available from the SanDisk website.

I had this same problem with my Sansa e280, I did some research and found that MTP mode is used when syncing with Windows Media Player. So if you plugged in your player under MTP and simply tried to drag and drop using Windows Explorer the player won't recognize. I have heard that you should be able to view them on the Sync tab in WMP but I personally have not tried.
The way I got rid of the songs was by going into my Sansa Settings and changing the USB mode to MSC, opening the Player by going to My Computer, then (if using Windows XP) click on Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and Select "Show Hidden Files and Folders". Click "OK" Then Right click on the MUSIC Folder and Select "Properties" Uncheck "Read Only" and "Hidden". Unplug your Player and it will restart. Viola, no more ghosted songs.
