See this tip posted here on this site. It may explain what is going on. copy this address into a new window -- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3774047-solve_mp3_player_connection_problem
If that does not work go here and download the Sandisk utility. http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/156

The easiest way is to connect to your computer via a usb cable. Click on the local disc "E: or whatever yours is and do it on line. Remember to use the safe disconnection procedure.

When you deleted the voice recordings, you may have also deleted the key system file that allows the recorder to operate properly. Download the Sansa Firmware Updater for the c200 series from Sandisk's website, and see if it will reload a complete version of the firmware.

just plug it in to your computer go to start then computer go down until it tells you that its there then go to that go to music then delete the songs you don't want

You will have to double-click my computer, double click icon of mp3 player, and remove it from the "Voice" folder, b/c the manual certainly doesn't tell you, and the menu tree doesn't seem to have the option

the best way for that is to read your manual.

We have two laptops and one desktop in my house and two 2GB Sansa c250s. My laptop recognizes my sansa c250 differently than our family's desktop (i.e. on the desktop i can't view certain folders/ music files that i transferred from my laptop to my player). The second laptop doesn't recognize mine at all, but it DOES recognize my sister's sansa c250.
my suggestion? try a different computer! and then KEEP using that computer for adding/ deleting files.

Do you use windows media player 10 or 11 to sync music into the mp3 player? and have you updated firmware? Go to sansa.com and download a firmware updater and then try formatting the mp3 player, use WM and click on the arrow below sync and go to format.

Chances are that you are using windows xp. open up your sansa folder to where it says pictuer, movies, ect. look at the picture to see what to do. In your player folder click tools --> folder options --> View. Under hidden files and folders click 'show hidden files and folders, click ok. The music folder would now show up where the videos and pictures are. Simply open the music folder and delete the ones you do not want. By default the songs are sorted by artist --> album --> song.
