Can't delete preloaded files on 705

Is it possible to delete the preloaded files that come on the Coby 705. I can't stand the songs and they keep coming up in shuffle. In addition, all the videos I transfer end up in NEW FOLDER rather than Videos. Any ideas?

I had the same problem - VERY frustrating. Just found the answer, and am very happy to share it!

1. In setting/USB mode, select MSC mode.
2. Plug in Coby to USB
3. Open My Computer. Look for the Coby as a REMOVABLE DISK, not the Coby.
Files will be there for Viewing and Deleting! (On XP, at least).
4. Make a backup of MTP.BIN and WMPInfo.xml, which I think is the operating sytem?

I got the clue from here:

Well, turn on you mp3 player, go on setting/USB mode and select MSC mode.

Then plug it on your computer and check in MICIN.DIR folder. You must find them.

Delete

No, you need to connect it to a PC/laptop to delete files. No way around that, I'm afraid.

Deleted songs are still there!

I agree with profalwg, use Windows Explorer. When you connect the player's USB cable to the computer, a window should open...click on the option to open with Windows Explorer. If you delete files and they still don't go away (happens sometimes) go into the player's Setup menu & change the USB setting to MSC. Doing this corrects 99% of player recognition problems. Hope this helps!

My Coby MP-705 Won't Let Me Delete Songs

Just format your player and it should get rid of everything, including the preinstalled junk. Right click 'internal storage' and select format.
