Deleting an audio file
You can delete an unnecessary audio file.
Before carrying out the following, select an audio file you want to delete as the current file.
1. While stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the indicator.
2. Press the [SETUP] key.
The unit enters the Utility mode.
The first time the unit enters the mode after turning on the power, the "Rec Protect?" menu appears.
3. Use the jog dial to select the "Delete File?" menu and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
"Sure?" flashes to confirm deleting the current file.
To cancel deleting, press the [EXIT/NO] key while "Sure?" flashing.
4. Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The audio file is deleted. The display shows "Completed!" momentarily, followed by the ABS 0 point (the
beginning) of the next audio file.
Tips: Restoring a deleted file
A deleted file still remains on the disk as a hidden file, therefore, you can restore a deleted file.
See "Restoring a deleted audio file" on the next page.
When selecting an audio file using the file select function, the deleted file is shown on the display as
"<<Hidden File>>". The display example below shows that audio file 008 which has been deleted still
remains on the disk as a hidden file.

Tips:
If you delete all the (two) "Tape mode" audio files on a disk formatted in the Tape mode and then
optimize the disk, the disk becomes equivalent to the one formatted in the "Normal" mode.

<Note>
If you optimize the disk when any deleted audio file is hidden, the hidden audio file is completely
deleted from the disk and you cannot restore the file anymore.
If you select the completely deleted file using the file select function, "
<<Deleted File>>
" is shown,
instead of "
<<Hidden File>>
", indicating that the file is completely deleted.
