I foolishly erased my music files directly off my Sansa e250 MP3 player (2.0GB) thinking I was just deleting the music I had stored on there. Unfortunately I seem to have deleted the 'firmware' files as well which prevents the player reading music files I load on via Windows media player? I have read about other solutions for the e260 and tried to use the firmware solutions and I think restored the system with the latest version 01.02.18A and have 1893Mb memory and 1538mb free according to the info...BUT I know get a message "not enough space for music DB. Please remove 6MB" but the usb connection cables do not seem to recognise the Sansa and I am not sure which/how 6MB to remove?
I think this is what happened to mine too. I tried to erase all the old music files & now can't add music or use anything but the radio. Please HELP!I think this is what happened to mine too. I tried to erase all the old music files & now can't add music or use anything but the radio. Please HELP!

I had the same problem and you need to do is more simple then the solution that the guys above me.
Just go to My computer right click on the divice and format and put all the music back on mp3.
It is like the solution above me so credit to him i just found out about this when i was trying to farmay like he said and it didnt work.
Try this: disconnect the player from the computer, hold in the volume + button, and reconnect the player to the computer while holding the volume + button in. Keep holding the volume + button for an additional 5-50 seconds. Windows should eventually go into recovery mode and revive the player- it will pop up a window that says Found New Hardware Wizard.

Download the Sansa Recovery Tool from the Sansa website.
Format - Erases Everything: Connect your Sansa player to the computer and open Windows Media Player. Click on the Sync tab. Pull down the drop down menu underneath the Sync tab by moving your cursor over the Sync tab and left clicking on the little black arrow underneath the Sync tab. Highlight "Sansa 1GB" (wording may vary slightly), and then select "Format." - this should erase everything.
Firmware Upgrade- Erases Everything: Get the latest firmware upgrade from Sansa - it updates the firmware and erases every song in the player all at once. Note: this method doesn't work if already have the latest firmware. Go to this website and click "Firmware Updater" to find out: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/DriverDownloads.aspx

There are 2 ways to delete music files. You can delete them from the player directly or using the computer. To delete music files directly from the Sansa player, follow these steps: 1. In playback mode, press Submenu button. 2. Select the Delete Song item.
To delete music files using the computer, follow these steps: 1. Connect your Sansa to the computer. 2. Select Open device to view files using Windows Explorer on initial connection. 3. Locate the folder where your music files are stored. 4. Highlight and delete the music files or folder.
Ok, plug it in your computer, open "My Computer," open up your Sansa, open up the file named "Music," select all the files, right click them and click delete. Now go to the Recycling Bin and delete all the music files that were on your Sansa. Sometimes the Sansa doesn't realize that files are gone until you delete them from the Recycling Bin, crazy I know, but it's true.
Hope it helps!
open up my computer and go to the drive for your device (like mine is E: for my sansa E250, but yours may vary). just browse around the folders until you find where your music is stored and delete it from there.
try to get your computer to give it a drive letter go to my computer find the device right click then format. ti shoud format
at the same format by defult.
In your player's menu, go into Settings, choose USB mode, and change it to MSC. This will cause the player to show up in Windows as if it were a flash drive, and you can add and delete music by drag and drop into the player's Music folder.
OR GO TO :
Open "My computer", then "Sansa c250 (E:)", find properties to show hidden files and a "Music" file (which is hidden) will appear. You can erase music directly from there.
I would stop using the program that you are using. Instead, and this is what I like to do, when you connect your mp3 player to your computer, and you open "My Computer," your mp3 player should pop up like a hard drive. Open it, and drag - and - drop your files from your music folder.
It's a lot faster to do this.
You might have to take the product back because you might of corrupted it. I corrupted mine just recently and I had the same problem. If you decide to get another one, don't unplug the MP3 before it's done saving.
I think this is what happened to mine too. I tried to erase all the old music files & now can't add music or use anything but the radio. Please HELP!
