CAN'T DELETE EXISTING MUSIC FILES TO CREATE ROOM FOR NEW MUSIC FILES
FOR SOME REASON, I CAN'T DELETE EXISTING MUSIC FROM MY SANSA e200R. I OPEN THE FOLDER TO VIEW FILES AND ABOUT 10-15 SONGS WERE VISIBLE. I DELETED THOSE, BUT THE REST ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE. I EVEN TRIED FROM THE MEDIA PLAYER IN THE SUB-MENU WHILE IT IS PLAYING, BUT NO COMMAND TO DELETE THAT PARTICULAR SONG SHOWS UP. ANY TIPS? THANKS, JAMES.

Plug in the comp right click then choose format and click the quick format button and press start then right click device again go to properties go to tools and check error
i didnt figure out how to do this im just spreading the news
Don't do either of those because you will delete all stored information. You should actually go to computer then folder options and check unhide hidden folders and files.
Ouch! The solution I just found DID reformat and it DID clear off the files that I could not erase. But it took away the version info, so now the updater (http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/Downloads/firmware/e200fw01.00.12.exe) does not work and while the files I could not erase are gone and the 250e is nice and clean, will I need the updater in the future and be unable to use it?
