Sandisk sansa e250r mp3 player

you will have to format your scan disc

Use Windows Media Player to delete those songs

To get songs off of mine, I went to my computer, and then to Sansa e250R (though your numbers may be different), then to music, and I just deleted what i wanted to get rid of. Im not sure, but this may only work if you're in PlaysForSure mode, which is changed on the mp3 player itself. Also, it leftempty artist folders on my Sansa, and I'm not sure how to get rid of those.

if you have windows media player try formatting it...that will automatically delete everything so you start all over. hope that works. =)

Ok
the easiest way is:

Open My Computer and go to your sansa folder named something like this "SansaE250"
Open it and go into music and delete all the songs
simply, press CTRL+ A - selecting everything, then press Delete.

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.

If the 4gb micro SD is a high capacity SD (it will say micro SDHC on it) your player may not be able to read SDHC cards, my sansa can't because it's the 'older version' it will read 2gb and below micro SD cards though (it sucked when I found out because I had just bought a 6gb micro SDHC)

Try a reset and see if it corrects itself. hit menu, settings, scroll to reset all, select yes. This won't delete any files, but it should clear up the song transfer problem. If that doesn't work you may have to reformat the device which will erase all data on it. But then you can start fresh again.

go to www.download.com and search for a program called Unlocker 1.8.5 it's free... after installation, right click the file to unlock the file and it should be fixed to delete... I was on here cuase my unit froze...

Use Media Monkey instead, or change Windows Media Player's configuration, so that it sees more songs.
