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 
1. In playback mode, press the Submenu button. 
2. Select Delete. 

METHOD 2 - Delete files using a PC 
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. Seeanswer ID 447 for more details.

Your DB might be corrupt. Folow the delete procedure one more time:
Delete Music Files
1) Connect your Sansa to the computer.
2) Select Open device to view files using Windows Explorer on initial
connection.
3) Select the place where you want to delete music files from
4) Highlight and delete the music file/s or folder from My Computer\Sansa
e200\...\MUSIC folder. (You can also select from a variety of music
software programs to transfer/synchronize your files).

If that fails, go ahead and update the firmware - it will delete everything, and allow you to start over from scratch among other things.

My solution would that you uncheck the albums from the Program that you use to sync your music or vids. Usually that means unchecking song by song or it all depends on how you have your files organized. See if that helps

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.

If you originally used rhapsody (or began in Rhapsody mode) , you have to use rhapsody to remove the songs. If that doesn't work, you can manually open the music folder by enabling "hidden folders" under "tools" -> "folder options..." -> click the "view" tab -> scroll and check "show hidden files and folders". Then go to My Computer -> Sansa e250 -> "system" -> "music" -> then delete the songs. I don't know the effects of using this method, so use it at your own risk.

Btw, Real Player should do fine as well.

You can format the device thru My Computer. Right Click on the "Removable Disk" under My Computer and select Format. This will delete everything off the device. Best of Luck.
