MP3 problems

Hi
Was wondering if someone might be able to help me .I copied a whole folder containing sub folders of mp3 messages up to 4G unto my mp3 player from my PC. I want to delete all and do it one by one because it shows every subfolder having two copies in the root folder. I tried and it kept saying one of the folders was empty.When I tried again it said file corrupted.Would someone pleas help me?
Thanks

  • If you want to delete all, I would be tempted to just format the whole drive, and start again

  • Not a dumb question at all. Your MP3 player will show as a removeable drive in Windows Explorer when you plug it into your pc

    If you highlight it in Windows Explorer, right click it and click Format

    Put a check in Quick Format and click OK

    You'll be ready to put you next lot of music on

    Thanks,
    I have done it and on the pc all the folders are present but on the mp3 player only some are showing in the root folder.

  • You should open the root folder in the MP3 player, and it should then show any sub folders
