How do you delete things? I keep pressing Yes to delete but nothing happens, the song is still there.

I think maybe I had the same problem originally. After you click Yes, DELETE (middle, silver button) you will come to a second screen where the default response is "No." If you are like me, you have immediately simply pushed the middle, silver button again, thinking, Yes, I want to delete this. But instead you need to take an additional step. After you click on Delete Song, you come to that second screen, and there you need to click on the upper button (the symbol is >||), which moves the cursor up to "YES." Then you hit the middle, silver button and the song is deleted! I think maybe I had the same problem originally.

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 can't speak directly to solving the problem by way of the player's screen, but I do fine plugging the player directly into a USB port on my computer (by way of a cable) and treating it as "just another drive" on my computer ... loading songs on, deleting songs off, etc.

The default is "No" so you have to scroll up once to select "Yes" I want to delete.

I don't listen much to music, mainly books, but it should work the same way. I also cannot get the Clip to delete anything by itself. When the Clip is plugged into my computer, I look at the Clip Zip in Explorer, as if I was looking at any other external hard drive. There are subdirectories for Audio, Music, Recordings, etc. You should be able to find your songs there, and hit delete on your keyboard to delete just as you would any file on your computer. Hope that helps.

well, i don't have it anymore,so thats pretty tough to answer now sry,just plug it into your computer and get rid of the song that way.

I don't have much to add. "AvonInd" has a good explanation of how to delete. The only thing I can think of is if you've loaded your songs in the "Internal Memory" folder by mistake rather than the music folder and the unit won't allow deletion from "Internal Memory". Or, perhaps, you have a faulty unit.

Or else plug into your computer, open your San Disk there and remove the song from your list of songs on the computer.

I only get the choice to delete a file on the SD card- no favorites menu. Am I missing something?

Thanks, I found the same problem. I let the computer delete the videos as they are being downloaded this save having to delete the trash but I always feel uneasy doing it this way incase the connection were to mess up. I love my flips!

I did not facing this problem. I have more than 100 songs (mp3), and it working well.At first, I also wonder it will function correctly, so i have tried to press next/previous button then the songs is randomly changed.So, maybe you can try to press the next/previous button to see whether it change to others song.

The only way you can shut it off is by pausing a song and then press the hold button. It will go off and say see you later. Goodluck!!

Press the menu/select button twice. After that, press the 3 button to delete. Good luck...

when you plug the device into the computer, it should bring up a box that has how you want to synchronize the device. I have always used Windows Media to do this. There is a tag that has sync on it. Clicking that tab will bring up a split screen in Windows Media. The right side has the music that is already on the device listed. Right click the artist or song that you want to remove and select delete from device. Note: This is for Windows Media Player, it could be different with other programs. Hope it helps.

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!

You are absolutely right David. I create my playlists on Windows Media Player 11 and zip,it's on the player. To delete a song or add, it's the same thing...hook it up and do what you want-thru WMP. This is our 2nd SanDisk. The other one is the black 2MG. Only problem we had with that one was every time we plugged in the USB XP said the deivce wasn't recognized. SanDisk was great! After walking me thru some instructions to no avail, SanDisk said we'll supply the shipping label and costs and will replace immediately. They did. Now, no problems. I think the service at SanDisk is top-notch.

I thought this would be a problem, however, it is not. All the answers you received are correct. Same for the delete key. I got used to using backspace and working backwards for deleting some letters, etc.

I did end up with one problem and had to call the company. I was deleting songs off the player, but the space available was getting smaller. It turned out that I needed to empty the trash... simple enough. As I said, I just got a mac (macbook) so I don't know if this type of thing happens often with a mac. But, make sure you empty the trash if you are deleting songs or the player will get filled!!

If you want to delete some music, simply plug your MP3 player into your computer's USB plug-in. A pop-up window will appear, giving you options of what you would like to do with your device. Select: Open Folder to View Files. This will take you to your devices folders and it will show all the music you have on it. Now all you have to do is delete the files you want to delete. Hope this helps.

I don't know how or if it is even possible to delete files on the player itself. I connect it to my PC and drag and drop the files.

When i set up folders, I just put all of my separate artists folders into a single folder named Playlist and it played through everything. Try that and see if it works!

You can delete songs. However, I couldn't figure out how to download videos yet.

Delete songs directly from the MP3 player? No, I don't think so. You have to plug it into the USB port on your computer and use Windows Explorer to search for the drive (i.e. Removable Drive E:\) and go into the folders of songs or whatever, and delete what you don't want.

first hook up your unit to your computer and go to the Music file on the unit. delete the music folder. Then delete the "tmp" folder on both the MSC mode and the MTP mode. This should delete the playlists as well as the songs.
