How to delete music?

Carmen · 24 November 2007 at 11:48PM

Hello Techie's,
I have a Sandisk Sansa mp3 player (as recommended on this site

) which does all I want from it except...I cannot delete any music from it, if there is an option for doing this I cannot find it

Can anyone help me please?

Which model Sansa is it?

Hi,
It's an m240...1gb

Connect the player to the computer using the same USB mode (MTP or MSC) that was used when the songs were transferred to the player.

If it's in MSC Mode
1) Access the drive through the "Removable Disk" in "My Computer"

2) Delete your songs as you would normally delete any file on your computer.

If it's in MTP mode
1) Either delete the songs through "My Computer" by browsing through the "SanDisk Sansa m200," or by browsing the player through music management software (Napster, Rhapsody, Yahoo, etc.)

Hello Red Rose, sorry for the delay in replying!
I'm not really sure what I am doing, I have deleted the file that seemed to be connected to the mp3 but, all the songs are still there

I'm not sure how to do the napster, rhapsody bit

I originally put the songs on mp3 from my collection I had on computer.
When I click on Sansa I get TCNANDO appear if I right click on that, the only thing which will allow me to delete is if I click on format, and it warning pops up that chosing to reformat will delete ALL data on the mp3 :eek:
Sorry I am being a dimwit.

P.S. It is MTP mode

Change it to MSC mode

You may have to uninstall the sansa driver from your PC and reinstall it to get into MSC mode

When you look in My computer, you should see SanDisk Sansa m200 listed as a removeable drive, right click it and click explore

Hopefully you should see some folders, double click on those in turn, and you should see your music files

Right click on those and click delete

I don't seem to have the Sansa installed

could that be the problem, if so how do I install it? I have only ever plugged into usb and dragged my installed music to it.
