I have an eSansaR, which I recently bought. I love the thing, I truly do, but the problem is that I cannot delete songs from the player. I’ve heard for formatting, which seems an entirely valid option, but me being a timid soul, I’d like to know how exactly it works, and what it does to your mp3-player.
I’ve read other answers, in which they give an answer, but can anyone please explain it to me in a little bit more detail. Just so I can grasp my head around it.
Just in case. You understand. (And if there are other solutions to the problem, I’ll be glad to hear them. I’d rather not delete all the songs I have on there. It would be…irritating, to say the least.)
When I go through Windows Media Player, all it says is
Video
Photo
tmp
Record
with those little drop-down icons next to them. The little plus sign.
Thank you all, for at least reading my long-winded question.

It’s an eSansa 280 R
8 Gig.
It’s really simple. =)!
Open Windows Explorer.
On the top, there should be a tools option, hit it.
There will be a menu.. go down to folder options.
hit the view tab after you have the folders option opened.
Under hidden files and folders, mark the option that says "show hidden files and folders"
This is display the hidden files in your sansa.
Now it’s time to go to My computer and hit your removable device, in this case, it is your sansa.
Now you should be able to see a MUSIC folder. open it, select the artist > album > song you want to delete.
have fun.
edit: the reason why you can’t remove the songs because sansa made it "hidden".
