Deleting files that were already on my sansa c140...

Try this:
Deleting Files,Pictures,Videos,Audio
Books, Apps,etc. from MP3 Player/Ipod
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hook up your mp3 player to your computer
Go to your desktop and double left click on "My Computer"
When it opens you will see listing that says "Devices with Removal Storage" your mp3 player should be listed there.
Right click on your mp3 player, and a window will open, right click on "Open" and now your files/songs should be visible.
Hold the left click down and drag it across all the files/songs that you do not want this will highlight the files/songs you do not want, release, right click and then click on "Delete"
Now you mp3 player should be clear of the files/songs you do not want.
BE CAREFUL and do not delete files needed to operate your MP3
player.

Good Luck,
I hope this helps

if you are trying to delete files from windows media player totally...(when you delete it gives you that option to delete from library or pc)...it seems you just been deleting from wmp library..thats why its still there....(if you dont want a particular file delete from pc).....same goes for mp3 players...you can delete from playlist or device...your choice....make it good....hope this helped

These re the songs that came with the player even if it is brand new, and plus since these artists don't want these to be copied they use a special method to hide them form any OS, hope i helped....

Try formatting the drive. Plug it in. Open Windows Explorer. Right click on the drive and select format. This will delete all content off the player.

Check the Mode of the device. Settings>Mode or USB. If you transfer files in one mode, you can only view / manage them in the same mode. Best of Luck.

Hi I am facing the same problem. I think there is no alternative other than send it back to Sandisk.

if u want to delete songs off of ur mp3 then plug it in then either go to windows media player and delete them or go to the option that says open files on explorer and if u want to download songs then get a downloading program and find the songs u want and download them i hope this helps
