Deleting I wish to replace the music on my mp3 player. how do I delete the existing music ?

According to CommunitySony.co.uk: "you cannot simply delete files straight from your MP3 player although you should be able to do this by connecting your MP3 player to your pc then click and open Computer > Walkman > Storage Media then look for your walkmans music file select the track you want to remove & press Delete. Make sure you do not delete the actual Music folder though."

Go into the file menus, open the music folder and chose delete all. I see if I can find the user manual with details.

This is one way to do it:
My Directions:

1. Connect your mp3 player to the computer

2. Open Windows Media Player

3. Click on the icon of your Mp3 player on the left-hand side of the Library

4. Click on the Songs, Tracks, or other Music Folder

5. Find a song or songs that you want to delete

6. Left-click the song once to highlight it

7. Press the “Delete” button on your computer’s keyboard

Step 1Connect the USB cable to your Sansa MP3 player, then hook the other end to a free USB port on your computer. Step 2Give the computer time to recognize the Sansa MP3 player. Once it has, double-click on the MP3 player’s icon to view the music files stored to memory. Step 3Scroll through the list of audio files until you find the ones that you wish to delete from the Sansa MP3 player. Step 4Click on single items or click and lasso multiple files. Step 5Right-click on the highlighted files to pull down an action list and from there select Delete. The computer will ask if you really want to throw the file away. Select OK. Step 6Exit from the window, then disconnect the USB cable from the Sansa MP3 player. The player will automatically turn off. The memory will update the first time you turn the player on after deleting songs. Tips & Warnings

• Optionally, you can left-click on a file and drag the file icon to the Recycle Bin. Either way, you can delete music that you don’t want from your Sansa MP3 player.
• Unlike other documents and files, once the music file hits the Recycle Bin, it’s gone. Make sure that you are deleting the correct file.

Are the existing tracks still on your computer? Most mp3 devices won't keep existing music on the device unless told to do so. Basically, don't delete any playlists or tracks from the program that you are using to transfer the music.

you can change the USB mode bac to MTP if you wish.

you may have to reformat the MP3 player by clicking on the drive its listed under and right click and go to Format. Formatting is done with FAT, not NTFS. This will remove any games or other data on it too. Sometimes the reset thing might work. In general, anything you erase from it using a computer should erase off the MP3 player too.

Ok well usually the MP3 player will show up as a "Drive" in My Computer & as such one may cut, copy, & paste as usual within windows, so.. usually, ya right click the "Drive" and select explore.. then find the Music file(s) you wish, right click it, and select delete. To copy a file.. ya can simply cut & paste to the MP3 player.

Try to Format it, here are the steps: 1. Click on "My Computer" 2. Right click on the sansa icon 3. Pick Format. Hope this helps, D.
