In the cassette model, press ERASE and Fast Forward.
Failing that, you may need to record over the whole tape.

The Digital modells will allow you to erase one file at a time.
You may have to press PLAY and then ERASE while the file is playing. If that does not work, press ERASE at the beginning of the file.

Make sure you dont keep erasing the same number file becuase the new #3 file is the old #4.

I have the same recorder (Sony ICD B310F) and in playing around with the buttons, I figured out how to ERASE THEM!!!

Go to the file you want to erase
Hold down the menu button (have to do this the entire time ) until you see the word "MODE"
While holding the menu button, press the forward arrow (like FF) and scroll until you see the word "ERASE"
Still holding down the menu button, press the play button.
Your file number will blink along w/ the word "ERASE", press the play button.

You should notice your file numbers decreased by one file. You have successfully erased the file.
