When you plug the mp3 player into a usb port, the pc should bring up a window showing all the files on the mp3 player. It is treated like a disk drive and will look similar to when you plug a flash device into a usb port. You can then copy your mp3 files from your computer to the folder that comes up that represents your MP3 player by right clicking an mp3 file and choosing copy and then right clicking your mp3 player and choosing paste. Its that simple. However, I have never messed with creating folders on mine and I doubt that it is a supported function of the player but I suppose you could experiment with that.

Have you tried hooking it into your computer as if you were charging it and bringing up the files and deleting them that way? The instructions in the book I have found not very clear and don't give enough info, I don't recall anything on how to delete files.

I'd try the computer hookup to see all the files. Maybe there are some hidden in a music or other folder. When you find a solution, could you please post it? Just in case I run into the same problem down the line. thanks!

With the recorder connected to the computer, use the computer software to delete the messages. I would suggest you delete one message at a time until you have some space to manipulate the remaining files.

Holding down the A/B button will allow you to delete a file or all files. Also, using the USB connection to connect and delete from your desktop.

geez you all are so ignorant. the actual space is 64GB but a filesystem is needed to keep track of the files on the disk. how else do you expect it to work without a filesystem?

I haven't had that problem. I know that the instruction booklet is not very helpful. My guess is that there may be separate "folders" and you're looking at an empty folder. Maybe you can figure out how to get to another folder. I've only used it with mp3 files, not wma so far.

How did you delete the audios? Did you reformat the recorder, or delete them off the recorder one by one, or cut and paste onto your computer?

Hi Shiki, This is very helpful. Is it easy to partition the drive? I just ordered this so I don't have the drive yet, but when it comes I'd like to back up both my Mac and PC... Do you know where to find information on how to partition? Thank you!

Yes, but it is the worst implementation I have seen.The maximum interval is something like 5 or ten seconds. So I get way more uploads than I need.Even worse, the filename is a fixed format that includes the date and time... all separated by slashes. So my windows FTP server interprets these as folder name separators and creates tons of new folders. I had to write a Task Manager script to rename the file and delete the folder structure each time a picture is uploaded. That one problem aside, this is my favorite camera. Picture quality is excellent (both day and night) and I've had no failures in the year and a half I've had it. I would maybe like to have a little longer lens.

I just tried this, and Media Player says there are no files on my device, but the ones I wanted to delete are still on it. Help! I want to delete files. I went on the Sansa website and did what it said, but it didn't work either.

I've been separating them and using a paperclip to keep them together. You may need a few paperclips though. I did it to what I had left and used about 3 paperclips.

You can setup folder shares and set security for those folders, not for individual files, as far as I know. Also need to setup users and groups to give security access. I am using it for backup so I don't have any of that setup, but I saw the settings while I was working on it.

I have the same problem. I also have not found a solution. I get a delayed write error and then all the folders etc are empty. I have searched for days for a solution (on mine, the contents ARE still there but aren't shown and can't be accessed unless there is a short cut on my desktop). If someone knows what to do, please help.

I have to delete items via the link to my computer. I have never been able to get it to delete on its own.

I have been able to delete and add files to this - and add to files I had stored before. I don't think there's a way to write-protect it. If there is, it's hidden somewhere! These are great for carrying photos to someone else's computer, and then adding their photos to it as well. HTH

You can't do any editing. The software converts to PDF or combines several files ito make one PDF file. Once the software combines your files, as far I as know you cannot delete one file, because it is all one file, not a separate file.

You may need to format it, first. On Mac OS X, run Disk Utility. If it does not show up in Disk Utility, something is wrong.
