I have got some corrupt files on my sansa fuze and I am not able to remove them using my computer. When I press the delete button nothing happens. Is there a way of removing all the files from my sansa fuze without reformatting it?

Try and reset the player first, If this does not fix the problem, Click this link to down load the Sandisk updater program to run a firmware update...Updater... Resetting the device: 1. Press and hold the Power/Menu button for approximately 20 seconds. 2. Release the Power/Menu button. 3. Press the Power/Menu button again to turn on the player.
Next time you need to delete files heres how. --
There are two ways to delete files on your Sansa player. You can delete them from the player directly or using a PC.
METHOD 1 - Delete files directly on the device 1. In playback mode, press the Submenu button. 2. Select Delete.
METHOD 2 - Delete files using a PC For all other Sansa players: 1. Connect your device to the PC. 2. Select Open device to view files using Windows Explorer on initial connection. 3. Locate the folder where your files are stored. 4. Click to select the files you want deleted and delete the files.
NOTE: If songs still exist after deleting, you may need to switch USB modes from MTP to MSC or vice versa. See this tip HERE
Capacity issue This error occurs when a Sansa player is almost filled to capacity. A Sansa player can NOT be filled to full capacity. (i.e. you can't put 2GB worth of songs into a 2GB player)
The player needs the extra capacity to create and maintain a "database", a database holds all the information such as playlists, recordings, song information, etc. The larger the amount of songs, the larger the database gets.
To resolve this capacity issue, you have to delete contents on your Sansa player using a PC.
STEP 1 - Delete files on your player 1. See first note on how to delete files on your Sansa player using a PC.
FAT corruption This error also occurs when there's a file system corruption in your Sansa player.
To resolve this issue, run error-checking to fix errors in your device using a PC
STEP 1 - Connect the Sansa player to the PC in MSC mode
STEP 2 - Run Error-checking to check and fix errors 1. Double-click on My Computer (Computer for Windows Vista). 2. Right-click on the drive letter associated with your Sansa player and select Properties. 3. Click the Tools tab and select Check Now. 4. Click both check boxes under Check disk options. 5. Click Start
If an error occurs while plugging in the player to the PC and some files are missing in the player, the database might be corrupted. To resolve this, you will need to format your player.
NOTE: Formatting will delete all files in the device. Your data (music, photos etc) is NOT recoverable.

Yes, you can put the file on the Fuze. But there's nothing the Fuze can do with it, other than hold it. You could copy the file from the Fuze onto another computer, essentially using the Fuze as a slightly inconvenient and expensive thumb drive.

download new sansa video converter firmware updates with sansa updater( check if there are any updates). check if video file is corrupted.

This will happen if the battery is drained below the min. operation voltage.
To bypass the problem = Press and hold the ON button and the Play Button ( >||) for 20 seconds it should override the low voltage and power-up

The 'FORMAT' function is a destructive function that will, at the very least, destroy the directory of any Disk or Flash Drive and therefore 'delete' all files on that drive or partition!

Deleting Files,Pictures,etc from MP3 Player

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 visable.
Hold the left click down and drag it across all the files/songs that you do not want this will hightlight 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.
Good Luck,
I hope this helps

To delete multiple songs you need to connect your Sansa Fuze to your computer and delete the files from the Music folder.Just press hold CTRL and select the song files with your mouse which you want to delete and then press the DEL button.

Hi,
There are two ways to delete files on your Sansa player.  You can delete them from the player directly or using a PC. 

METHOD 1 - Delete files directly on the device 
For View, Fuze, Clip, e200v2, and c200v2 only: 
1. In playback mode, press the Submenu button. 
2. Select Delete. 

METHOD 2 - Delete files using a PC 
For all other Sansa players: 
1. Connect your device to the PC. 
2. Select Open device to view files using Windows Explorer on initial connection. 
3. Locate the folder where your files are stored. 
4. Click to select the files you want deleted and delete the files

The only way I know to delete music files or voice or FM recordings, is straight from the User's manual on the CD: 1. Set the e250 to MSC mode. 2. Plug it in to your computer with the USB connector. 3. Open the Sansa e250 drive in My Computer and browse to the MUSIC folder (or RECORD folder)and delete the files there. (That's where you also add music files, by dragging from other explorer windows.) To delete (or add) photo and video files, you have to use the Media Converter, which you install from the disk that came with the e250.
