Deleting songs Hi there - I'm trying to delete selected songs from my Sansa c150, but when I open it in My Computer, most of the songs aren't shown. They only come up on the c150 itself. How do I do it?

Hello,

Deleting songs on the Sansa e250 can be done on the player itself as described in the manual on page 23 (=26 in the pdf file):
1. In playback mode, press the down/submenu button.
2. Select the Delete Song item.

For deleting files when connected to a computer, see page 32 (=35 in the pdf file)

You may be having this problem because the USB mode of your player has been changed.
* Unplug the player from your computer and turn the player is on
* Press the menu button, scroll down and select "Settings"
* Scroll down and select "USB"
* Change the setting to "Auto Detect"
Reconnect your player to your computer and see if your files are available to your computer.

In My computer right click on the mp3 player and select format..then it will delete all songs..

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.

Simply go to your computer, open the player and then delete songs directly from your player.

To delete songs from your device follow the steps below
You have to make sure that the device is on MSC mode...then make sure your device is plug in to the computer..Then go to programs - accesories - windows explorer, find the SanDisk in my computer, go to media, music and delete them from there.
Either under sync panel in your windows media player it will show your music when it's connected. just click the plus signs for what song you need to get rid of, right click and click delete.
To format it..on your device..go under..menu, setting and there should be a format option option there..let me know if that doenst work for you...
Hope this helps

P.S.Please rate accordingly...
Thank You

go to my computer when it is plugged up and delete the music from the harddrive of the player.

Ok, this should work:

-Connect your sansa to your computer
-Open My Computer
-Find your mp3 players folder "Sansa E250"
-Go to the files you want to delete and simple select them and press delete.

You can Right Click on the c150 in My Computer and select FORMAT.

This will erase all data on the device, but not the O/S.



Best of Luck.

The demo songs still don't show up when I select "Show hidden files/folders". I had go to Menu->Settings->Format, and proceed with formatting it to get the demo songs off my Sansa c240 (This will delete all songs/files).
