When I try to delete it says files are read only and won't remove them
It says cannot remove song the storage is write protected remove write protection and try again - but I don't know how to do this.
HELP Anyone?
Not an SD card. The problem files seem to be in the root of the device. I can create a folder and save files in that also but these are accessable and deletable.Not an SD card. The problem files seem to be in the root of the device. I can create a folder and save files in that also but these are accessable and deletable.
When I connect via USB with the m230 device Settings on USB it brings it up on windows explorer as "my computer\Sansa 230\TCNAND0" and lists all the 40+ mp3 files in TCNANDO Ok.TCNANDO is the only folder displayed. Right clicking on a file to delete it results int the originally posted message dialogue which does not allow deletion.
If I change the device USB setting to MSC - windows explorer shows it as a removable drive F. Opening this drive shows the following folders and - AUDIBLE CONFIG RECORD and the following files "17 To all the girls I've loved before.mp3,AUDACT.TCC (TCC File 1kb)and SYS CONFIG.DNC(DNC File 1kb). Non of the 40+ mp3 files displayed under TCNANDO is displayed at all.

Before I format the Sansa - I would like to know if anyone else has done this successfully and to what state the device is returned after completion. Do all the features still work correctly?? Any problems encountered after the format that would preclude me from formatting???

Re:
Are they on an SD card? If so, check the protection switch. If it's in the device's memory, my best guess is that the memory is fried. I had a cheap flash drive that, after a while, started saying it was write protected, and I called tech support on it, and they said to get a new one.

"Write Protection" is a definate problem, but may be solvable (short of reformating) by checking the original files which, most likely, came from a CD copy. To see the attributes, right click on the icon and go down to select properties. There you will find "read only" highlighted for both the album folder and its sub files or songs. At this point the trick of avoiding "write protection" is to select the "read" attribute to unselect "read". Then select "Apply" and a window pops up showing boxes, one of which will say apply to folders, sub-folders or files, etc. Click on that box, then click on "OK". You will notice that the folder "read" attribute will remain highlighted, but that the subfolders' attributes do not!! (This is for Windows XP) At this point proceed to copy this folder OVER the same folder. You will be asked if you want to overwrite the existing folder with the same name. YES, please. The files will be replaced with identical file data, except the "read" attribute will be blank or unhighlighted, and NOW you can delete the folder.
