How to Delete a Song From a Sansa
Sansa MP3 players simplify music portability and provide you with a vast amount of space for your musical selections. You have ample space to place much, if not all, of your music collection on your Sansa player, depending on the player's storage space and the volume of your music collection. Sometimes a song passes its prime on your player, or you've simply run out of space and want to add new songs, so you'll need to delete tracks to create available space. You have the option of deleting selections by using your computer or the player itself.
